We should care, but not too strongly.   This is one of the pedantic
ISO/ANSI C limits that pretty much every compiler on the planet seems to
overcome easily.  I.e. they seem to have been a bit more cautious in 
selecting that number than they strictly had to.

In other words: there are *lots* of serious warnings we should tackle
first before worrying about these.  -pedantic mode is the least of our
worries, as long as a simple gcc drowns us in hundreds of -Wsign-compare
warnings.
