In each case, the function has an unsigned return type, but returns a
negative constant to indicate an error condition.  The result of calling
the function is always stored in a variable of type (signed) int, and thus
unsigned can be dropped from the return type.

A sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@exists@
identifier f;
constant C;
@@

 unsigned f(...)
 { <+...
*  return -C;
 ...+> }
// </smpl>
