We've certainly eliminated several bugs by removing all these warnings
from glibc. The benefit is also that you think twice about the types
of the variables. Many people still unconditionally use `int's for
loop variables. In many cases `unsigned int' is appropriate and it is
also faster in some cases on some platforms. There are good reasons
for -Wall containing this option now.
