This group of warnings is make-work, right? Glibc assumes GCC, and in 
GCC the left shift of a negative value is well-defined unless it 
overflows (which can't happen in this case). So I suggest that we add 
-Wno-shift-negative-value to CFLAGS instead of worrying about pacifying 
the compiler by munging the source code.
