 Hi again,
 
 setting "-V MKLINT=no" on the command line of build.sh eliminates the 
 misleading warning messages.
 
 Thanks for the hint.
 
 My suggestion to change the default mode in respect to running lint or 
 not and (perhaps) adding a documented commandline option to the build.sh 
 script that changes the default setting, is some kind of religion question.
 I would prefere to run "standard" builds without lint if it produces 
 misleading messages - e.g. if cross-building the sources (as I'm dooing 
 for i386 on an amd64 system) lint doesn't take care about this fact as 
 far as I can see.
 
 Neverless, I think you can close this report.
 
 Best regards
 
 W. Stukenbrock
