It looked really weird because of that.  Unfortunately, Autoconf doesn't
check the compiler warnings (it's hard to parse them reliably).  But next
time you can just specify CFLAGS on the command line, like this:

CFLAGS="-O2" ./configure

Maybe.  It's better the keep the code warning-free, so that the new
warnings (i.e. those created by new changes) are easier to spot.
