There are a bunch of tiny but essential utilities I'm building for the
first time on NetBSD.  (The final stage of escape from Solaris.  Yippee!)

I keep getting the same kinds of compiler warnings (both NetBSD 1.4.3
and 1.5), but not being a programmer I don't know how to correct for them.
Two very frequent ones are "assignment makes pointer from integer without
a cast" and "`xxx_yyy' was declared implicitly `extern' and later `static'".
Is there someone who could advise me on corrections using the examples
below so that "egcs-1.1.1" doesn't issue warnings.

1) The warning:
windows.c: In function `fopentmpfile':
windows.c:151: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
1) The "offending" code:
              if( fp = fdopen(fd,FOPEN_RWB) ){
  ==>>                tmpfiles[tmpfilex++] = stralloc(path);
                      LV("fopentmpfile(%s) %x/%d",path,fp,fileno(fp));
              }else   LE("cannot fdopen(%d) %s",fd,path);

2) The warning:
TLX.c:555: warning: `fa_xp' was declared implicitly `extern' and later `static'
TLX.c:488: warning: previous declaration of `fa_xp'
2) The "offending" code:
  ==>>        static fa_xp(ofsp,regexp,class)
(the previous declaration was: "return fa_xp(fa_root,regexp,class);"

(Actually, in the second case I've just been changing all those "static"s
 to "extern".  It works as far as shutting the compiler up, but is it messing
 up the code?  Should I be going the other direction?)

Thanks a lot.
