As I previously pointed out
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-03/msg01954.html>.  Given this
sort of portability issue, a separate option (maybe in -Wextra, but
probably not in -Wall), such as -Wcomparison-fixed, is appropriate for
these warnings and those already in -Wextra I mentioned in that message.
