  I just notice that there are warning message during the installation,
  they are caused by comparison and unused parameter. There are a lot of
  them, like:
  ***************************************************************
  t-sqrt.c:143: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
  t-sqrt_ui.c: In function `check_rand':
  t-sqrt_ui.c:63: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
  t-sqrt_ui.c: At top level:
  t-sqrt_ui.c:106: warning: unused parameter 'argc'
  t-sqrt_ui.c:106: warning: unused parameter 'argv'
  reuse.c: In function `main':
  reuse.c:128: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
  reuse.c:151: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
  ***************************************************************
      Strictly speaking they are not bugs, but they can make the user get
  lost in scrolling screen and cannot get the information they want if
  they look at the screen during the installation. For long term it is
  also a potential hazard. So I write this email.
      Thank you very much for maintaining the software!

Most compilers allow more or less silly warnings to be enabled.
You have clearly explicitly enabled extra warnings, some of which are
silly.

You're welcome to go thruogh the warnings issues, and report any of
them that is not silly.  Remember to specify unambiguously which file
your report is about.
