This code was written quite some time ago when signals we defined
as return int. This really didn't make sense since they weren't
called in the "normal" manner. They were redfined to return void, but
GRASS was never modified to know this. There are no flags or setup
tricks that can eliminate these warnings, other than to modify the
offending code to declare the pointers to these function (eg tstp_old)
as functions returning void instead of int. Up to now this has been a begign
warning.
