Sorry:

I don't have access to sparc hardware at the moment.

char * vs unsigned char * are a good number of them, but I also see:

**********************************************************
"path.c", line 35: warning: storage class after type is obsolescent


**********************************************************
UINT64CONST produces these in a number of places:

"xlog.c", line 552: warning: constant promoted to unsigned long long

"dynloader.c", line 4: warning: empty translation unit

        argument : pointer to struct PGShmemHeader {signed int magic, long
creatorPID, unsigned int totalsize, unsigned int freeoffset}


**********************************************************
I see this in both cc and gcc builds:

Then there are a whole lot of code reachability warnings in these classes
 - statement not reached
 - end-of-loop code not reached
 - loop not entered at top

I've attached these as a separate file because they are numerous.
