When building selftests, mqueue and vDSO the following shows up:

warning: passing 'int *' to parameter of type 'unsigned int *' converts between pointers to integer types with different sign [-Wpointer-sign]

warning: passing 'const char *' to parameter of type 'const unsigned char *' converts between pointers to integer types where one is of the unique plain 'char' type and the other is not [-Wpointer-sign]

The code looked OK so what normally are done are, adding the compiler
directive to hide the warnings '-Wno-pointer-sign'.

Would be nice to see the lines of code that are generating these warns.

I don't want to see the warnings suppressed all together in the Makefile.
I don't see any point in doing so and it will suppress real problems in
the future.

I won't be accepting this patch.

thanks,
