Do you get the warning for "unsigned int s" declaration?
I feel Both the messages sounds same
What is bothering me is, no warning Message if it is declared as "unsigned int s" in the program???.

I have checked for the same with the following versions of GCC, still it is the same problem

1) gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
2) gcc version 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease, propolice)
3) gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-1)

Even compiling with optimization flag will not flash the warning message.
