That fixed all of the warnings I posted before, except one:
drv_Image.c: In function 'drv_IMG_flush_PPM':
drv_Image.c:117: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument 4
has type 'long unsigned int'
drv_Image.c:124: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument 3
has type 'long unsigned int'

I guess that does not work because you need a complete 64bit toolchain.
On Gentoo, you can build it using the "crossdev" package, but I don't
know how to do that on other platforms :-)

You can also call
  make -s
to silence the make calls except for warnings and errors (which is the
same as > /dev/null).

There are also patches to automake to let the user choose whether (s)he
wants a pretty output (as in the Linux kernel).

This, however, should break again when autoreconf'ing the created files
on other systems. See the following project for details:
