Current gcc warnings on ia64, hppa and sparc

Thu Jun 27 20:55:02 UTC 2013

Hi all,

As a few servers of the GCC Compile Farm are shutdown on June, 30th because of difficulties in their maintenance, I have just run a last build of CURRENT.
These servers were pretty interesting:  Debian ia64 (HP zx6000), Debian hppa (HP 9000/785/J6000), Debian sparc (Sun Enterprise 4500) and OpenBSD 5.1 sparc64 (Sun V210) are not easy to find for testing!

Here are the points that need investigating.  I write this mail to keep a trace of them.
Besides, a few components are shared with C TAP Harness and rra-c-util, so maybe it could be worthwhile fixing the issues there too.
