I finally tracked down all the (albeit inconsequential) errors I was getting
on both OpenBSD and OSX.  It's the warn() function in usage.c.  There's
warn(3) in BSD-style distros.  It'd take a "great rename" to change it, but if
someone with better C skills than I have could do that, my linker and I would
appreciate it.
