Yes, it's working now.

We cannot go there yet.  There are some format string warnings that are
hard to fix nicely.  Sure, we can cast everything to long long and use
"%llx" to be sure, but it doesn't look nice to me.  There are some other
warnings that need work.

But we could use -Werror-implicit-function-declaration for the compilers
that understand it.  Missing declarations can cause some pretty weird
errors.
