Diagnosing the problem is more difficult and time-consuming if your
compiler includes the above message every time it is executed.

To help diagnose the problem, would you please compile the following
program:

    $ cat foo.c
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/param.h>
    int main() { return 0; }

with the following command

    $ c89 -c -O -DNDEBUG foo.c

and send me any output (both standard output and standard error).
