The warning was just lost in the long list of outputs.

Now that you mention it, there are still a few warnings 
(gcc 2.96 on Linux):
Objects/unicodeobject.c: In function `PyUnicodeUCS4_Format':
Objects/unicodeobject.c:5574: warning: int format, long int 
arg (arg 3)
Objects/unicodeobject.c:5574: warning: unsigned int format, 
long unsigned int arg (arg 4)

libpython2.3.a(posixmodule.o): In function `posix_tmpnam':
Modules/posixmodule.c:5150: the use of `tmpnam_r' is 
dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
libpython2.3.a(posixmodule.o): In function `posix_tempnam':
Modules/posixmodule.c:5100: the use of `tempnam' is 
dangerous, better use `mkstemp'

Modules/pwdmodule.c: In function `initpwd':
Modules/pwdmodule.c:161: warning: unused variable `d'

Modules/readline.c: In function `set_completer_delims':
Modules/readline.c:273: warning: passing arg 1 of `free' 
discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Modules/expat/xmlrole.c:7: warning: `RCSId' defined but not 
used

Should I open a separate bug report for that?

I noticed your descrobject.c checkin message.
