One metric here - I only get compile warnings on Linux.
Using gcc or clang on NetBSD or FreeBSD I get no warnings.
Using gcc on OpenBSD I get one bogus warning as their gcc is so old.
Using clang on Linux, I only get warnings in if-Linux.c, due to RTA and 
NLM headers. I also get warnings elsewhere just because Linux stupidly 
reversed the IPv6 IMCP filtering headers from the BSD implementation for 
no good reason.

All other warnings are crap generated by gcc.
The newest gcc-7.4.0 throws a warning in control.c because a sun_path 
*could* be 108 characters on Linux. Big whoop, it's too stupid to work 
out that dhcpcd ensures it will be less.

In other words, I'm more than happy to fix compile errors, but NOT ones 
caused by gcc or Linux exclusively unless they really are issues in dhcpcd.
