This happened with 1.99.7 and again as I'm compiling 1.99.8:

1.99.7 seems to be running without much of a problem (besides the fact
that I do need to upgrade a few things:)

Can I do anything here to stop those warnings, or can they be safely
ignored?

Up until now I've been running a heavily patched 1.2.13 on my 386dx33.
1.99.7 seems to be running a quantum leap FASTER that 1.2.13 ever
did!!! :-)))
