It is a warning, and only when -pedantic is used. BTW, it is a (minor)
bug in gcc, because:
  1) if the ISO C really forbid empty source files, then this warning
     should have been output all the time (i.e. even without -pedantic
     or -Wall);
  2) this warning is output even when the source is not empty.

Yes, this would be nice, but only when it doesn't bloat Mutt's source.

BTW, if you really want to avoid compiler bugs, you shouldn't use the
integer division, because it is buggy in gcc 2.95 on the ARM, which is
the only C compiler available on a non-reflashed Zaurus.
