[New-bugs-announce] [issue10036] compiler warnings for various modules on Ubuntu x86

[Jeffrey Finkelstein]

New submission from Jeffrey Finkelstein <jeffrey.finkelstein at gmail.com>:

On Ubuntu 10.04.1, with
"uname -a" outputting "Linux hostname 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 20:26:08 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux"
"gcc --version" outputting "gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) 4.4.3"

On hg revision 7965 of the py3k branch, I get the following compile-time warnings:
