We could also check for lots of other things in buildd logs.  One
that happens alot more is "cast to pointer from integer of
different size" and "cast from pointer to integer of different
size".  During the past 24 hours I had 300 such warnings, and 94
of "implicit declaration of function".

But this really is the maintainer of the package that should look
at this.  I don't think it's up to the buildd's maintainers to
go and look for this type of bugs.
