Don't modern C compilers check for and report most of the errors that  
LINT used to be used to catch?  I know that every time we upgrade our  
compiler(s) (mostly gcc), we have significant numbers of non-bugs to  
"fix" just to make the compiler happy (USUALLY mitigated by the set  
of very real bugs it finds with the same checks, but ... with open  
source software, one is very much at the whims of whoever is working  
on the code, and it's AMAZING how much is not clearly defined in  
specifications.
