GCC? Needs the -no-strict-aliasing flag. Everybody hates the default except
the compiler writers because you can't cast pointers between different sized
types, something the linux kernel and numpy do a lot. Things can fail badly
if you don't set the flag and ignore the warnings.

I don't know about the other warning, maybe some syntax error causing the
declaration to be missed.
