gcc can handle an unused variable attribute, but a different syntax is
used:
static void
sig_alarm(int signo __attribute__((unused)))
{
    longjmp(timeout_alarm, 1);
}
This one works, thanks.

But I wonder how it is compiled on DragonFly because they use gcc4.1?
It doesn't greatly matter. I will ask when I am sending patches
upstream.

Kind regards,
