You do not say what compiler or architecture you are using.  I am using 
gcc-4.9.2 and both sys-utils/ipcs.c and sys-utils/ipcutils.c build for 
me without any warnings.

My build of dos.c is done with:

/bin/sh ./libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -std=gnu99 
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.  -include config.h -I./include 
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -D_PATH_LOCALSTATEDIR=\"/run\" 
-I./libuuid/src -I./libfdisk/src -I./libfdisk/src -I./libblkid/src -g 
-O2 -MT libfdisk/src/libfdisk_la-dos.lo -MD -MP -MF 
libfdisk/src/.deps/libfdisk_la-dos.Tpo -c -o 
libfdisk/src/libfdisk_la-dos.lo `test -f 'libfdisk/src/dos.c' || echo 
'./'`libfdisk/src/dos.c

and it does not provide any warnings either.

My host is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7.
