    The warning is overly cautious, I think, but it is a dubious enough
    construct that it is probably worth fixing.

I cannot reach gmane now, but if this is about -Wextra, I'd rather not
touch it before the release.  "comparison between signed and unsigned"
tends to be excessive and IMNSHO it is crazy to use -Wextra and -Werror 
together.

Actually, I mislabeled this. It is about a glibc run-time complaint not
a gcc warning, which is more worrisome. It is triggered by an argv list
where we pass (argv - 1) to something expecting only to index it
starting from '1'. I'm not sure yet if it is glibc being picky or if we
violate that assumption somewhere. I'll post a followup in the thread.
