신경쓰여서 찾아봤더니 다음과 같은 의미가 있다고 한다.

warning 없는 compile 을 위하여...

The warning means that the code does something like this:
    extern int foo ();

The warning message will include a file name and line number you can
use to see where this is happening.

You can turn off the warning with -Wno-strict-prototypes (or simply by
omitting -Wstrict-prototypes).
