I usually strive for code that yelds no warning, because every one
could be a bugs source.

There are actually arguments against using obfuscation tricks too
'sophisticated' for the gcc code analyzer to silence pointless
compilation noises. At least they ... well ... obfuscate the
code.

Anyway, couldn't you just add the -Wno-pointer-sign to the makefile?

The same way I could just change all the code I am using, could just
maintain a compiler for x86 separate from the one included in the
distribution I am using, could just ignore the warning, could just
fork the compiler outright, could just write my own compiler etc.

None of which is going to improve the behaviour of this compiler.
