--- Comment #3 from Harshavardhana <fharshav at redhat.com> ---
There was a reason behind having "warnings" - is for my own benefit as a
reminder to get them fixed, if we turn them off - they will potentially even
might mask potential bugs. 

The real reason for so many warnings is gcc which is perhaps blatantly ignorant
of some of those things

ec-common.c:1068:13: warning: variable 'lock' is used uninitialized whenever
'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

^^ this is a potential bug on a distributed system. 

Realistically we have enough bugs in OSX functionality alone rather than making
compilation look beautiful, i think its okay to have these "warnings" and let
people open Bugzilla for each one of them. 

NOTE: If our SSL code was modular enough we could have just did '--disable-ssl'
on OSX.
