Added W=12 to the make command, used GCC 9.1.0. There are quite some
warnings of this art yet, so this is just a first shot.

Additional issue i'd see in this particular case also, that iterating
through an array should use some unsigned to ensure there's no signed
overflow. But otherwise, it's better to fix similar cases to reduce the
noise.

Thanks for pointing to this. I also probably should have added a Cc:.
Will go through the submitting patches document more carefully.

Thanks!
