The warnings are normal. Many of the warnings you are seeing come
from support programs which are often compiled without the very
strict warning settings we use with GCC. I believe a compile
with GCC uses "-ansi -pedantic -Wall -W", which triggers every
known warning GCC can throw. :)

Try uninstalling the libwv library, then do the build. :) With
wv as a peer, the library should be compiled and placed in the right
spot, and this message should go away.
