I guess -Werror is not supported... Is this the only warning you get?
It shouldn't be too hard to fix, replace (small_mult < 0) by
SMALL_NEGATIVE_P(small_mult), and add
#define SMALL_NEGATIVE_P(x) ((x) < 0)
or
#define SMALL_NEGATIVE_P(x) 0
depending on the operation. Not sure if it's worth fixing or not.
