"Pointer targets in return differ in signedness" (fwd)

[Mo McKinlay <mmckinlay at labs dot interopen dot org>]

Hi folks,

I'm compiling a small program, using gcc-2.91.66, and I've run into a
small problem. It seems to be a glibc issue, but I'm unfortunately not in
a position to upgrade on this host.

I'm compiling with:

gcc -W -Wall -O2 -pedantic -D_GNU_SOURE -c -o $*.o $*.c

As my generic .c -> .o rule.

The message I'm recieving is:

/usr/include/bits/string2.h: In function `__stpcpy_small':
In file included from /usr/include/string.h:346,
                 from webwhois.c:7:
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:611: warning: pointer targets in return differ
in signedness

My question is this: is there a way to disable this particular warning?
I'd prefer not to remove -W -Wall or -pedantic from the command-line, but
if that's my only option, I'll have to stick with it ;)

However, if there's a way to turn off this particular warning (I can't
find it in the texinfo docs), I'd like to know about it.

TIA,

Mo.
