"ptrmsimatch" compile warnings (8.2.2-P7)

[gschmid at notes.cc.sunysb.edu]

Hi,

I got the following warnings while compiling
8.2.2-P7 on DEC UNIX V4.0F.

When I built 8.2.2-P5 on this same machine & O/S
I didn't get these warnings.

The make finished and all the executables were built.
I think.

How severe are these?  Are they truly just "Warnings"
that I can ignore or do I need to fix something and
redo my "make all"?  If so, any hint would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks a lot
