Compiler warnings are of course controversial.
I personally think that osmocom-bb and friends are fine pieces of code
and deserve a kind of "polished" look when compiling.

Some warnings are also quite strong indications of bugs like "... makes
pointer from integer without a cast" and things like that.

I myself don't know how to handle e.g. "discards qualifiers from pointer
target type" when the constness of lvalue and rvalue don't match.

Maybe it doesn't actually matter so much and I am just pedantic.
