I created this patch on a gentoo system and haven't tested building it
without ebuild and emerge. It seems that building it from scratch uses
gcc -Wall being much more strict.

If you want to test the test quickly open up objs/Makefile and remove
the -Wall and -Werro in the CFLAGS.

I'll try to take a look tomorrow to make the patch working with more
strict gcc rules.
