> Sorry. Were those bogus portlint warnings then?

Nope.   From "The Ten Commandments for C Programmers" (Annotated Edition)
        by Henry Spencer

I.  Thou shalt run lint frequently and study its pronouncements with
    care, for verily its perception and judgement oft exceed thine.

    ..snip..
    ``Study'' doth not mean mindless zeal to eradicate every byte of lint
    output--if for no other reason, because thou just canst not shut it
    up about some things--but that thou should know the cause of its
    unhappiness and understand what worrisome sign it tries to speak of.
