Please see:

You might be wise to upgrade your verison of gcc.  I don't see any of 
the warning you are seeing.  I'm able to generate some of the warnings 
by adding additional compiler flags, though.


Also, it would be more helpful to see these warnings on a currnet cvs 
version of swish.  Makes it easier to track down the problems by line 
numbers.

   make >/dev/null

will make the output easier to parse in your emails, too.

Those are warnings not errors.  They shouldn't keep swish-e from
building.  Yes, they should be fixed -- over the years (and large number
of programmers) have used different compilers and were lax in casting,
and likely there's been an overuse of casting.
