there were 3 calls to MemSet it complained about - all in
src/backend/storage/lmgr/proc.c, and all zeroing out the timeval
structure. (is MemSet actually a gain in this instance?)

there was the very odd one in src/bin/psql/command.c, which seems to me
to be bogus

there were 3 in src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c and
src/backend/executor/execQual.c complaining about casting things to (Node *)

finally, there was a warning about incompatible pointer types (i.e. not
a type-pun warning) in the (uncast) call to shmdt in
src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c
