Compiler Warnings



     Compiling a source file that #includes /usr/include/syslog.h
produces:

/usr/include/sys/syslog.h:80: warning: initialization discards qualifiers \
                             from pointer target type

repeated 70 times.  This is Bug#111767.

     This is caused by the compiler flag ``-Wwrite-strings''.  This is
included in the Makefile by @WCFLAGS@ in Makefile.in.  The configure
script defines WCFLAGS to include ``-Wwrite-strings''.  The package
doesn't require automake or autoconf to build.  Would it be safe for
me to remove ``-Wwrite-strings'' from configure?
