php is teh funnays

So I'm squashing compiler warnings in my little project when I come across a warning when building in linux. It deals with pread/pwrite being implicitly defined. I check the man page, yes unistd is included but still the warning. So I google and find some PHP silliness:
Bug #32049 Implicit declaration of function pread - It's just a warning (ha!), note the date and files...
php4: files session handler broken on sparc - deals with the same files and almost 1 year earlier.

Warnings actually really do matter and they are normally pretty easy to fix. I know these were from a few years ago but the complete dismissive attitude of the bug response prompted me to post this.
