Comment:
The warnings also appear under Darwin as the BSD header files have issues with prototypes.

Comment:
If you search for TELL64 in fileobject.c, you'll notice some code bracketed with #elif defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__OpenBSD__). Try adding || defined(_HAVE_BSDI) to that line to see if that fixes it. If so, please let me know so we can apply the patch!
