Correct. I got these errors from all 2.0.* kernels after switching to
gcc 2.8.0. I got tired of the warning and added a return value in the
two inlines. E.g:

#undef COMMON
/* added by PTB to stop compiler warnings */
return to;
}

There is a case statement without a default that causes the warning.
