Hey Scott (and Grant):

That's part of libjs, a JavaScript library from the Mozilla foundation
that is used by Evergreen (in conjunction with the
JavaScript-SpiderMonkey Perl module).

Grant, have you changed the CFLAGS to bump up the gcc warning levels,
by any chance? I haven't compiled libjs on Ubuntu, but on Gentoo it's
relatively quiet.

Most importantly, does the build succeed (despite the warnings) or does it fail?
