 With this setup, and after a round or two of make && make check, I get 
-142 passes out of 150 regression tests with the interpreter engine, and
-131 passes for the jit engine using --with-threads=unix-jthreads, and

 There probably are various issues that the compiler warnings should be 
 able to help interested developers fix. As usual, I'd appreciate patches.
