I'm now getting this with gcc < 9:

  nolibc-test.c: In function 'test_pipe':
  nolibc-test.c:811:10: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]
    if (len != strlen(msg))
            ^
The reason is that len is ssize_t and strlen() is size_t. I tried different
approaches here but the cleanest remains turning len to size_t (we don't
use its sign anyway), so I'll do that one as well.

Cheers,
Willy
