Message-ID: <20050505013037.GA26290@vrfy.org>

Suppress these stupid warnings if gcc supports it:

  ls-tree.c: In function ‘list_recursive’:
  ls-tree.c:34: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘strlen’ differ in signedness
  ls-tree.c:34: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘__builtin_strcmp’ differ in signedness
  ls-tree.c:34: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘strlen’ differ in signedness
  ls-tree.c:34: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘__builtin_strcmp’ differ in signedness
  ls-tree.c:34: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘__builtin_strcmp’ differ in signedness
  ls-tree.c:34: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of ‘__builtin_strcmp’ differ in signedness
  ls-tree.c:66: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of ‘list_recursive’ differ in signedness
