Ran into it too, and Ken has the solution: Comment out -Werror from
programs/Makefile.program. It's a compiler issue, not a starter issue.

Apparently, gcc 3.3.3 works fine with these flags. And since I couldn't
locate a changelog for 3.3.4, I can't verify what would make the
difference between the two.

Probable solutions:
* Remove -Werror from the CFLAGS used in compiling programs.
* Remove the cause of the warning, i.e. the orphan(ed?) function.
* Fix GCC into not spitting out a warning when it runs into an orphaned
function call...probably not an option since it's apparently a feature
now :-)

Maybe someone knowledgable with starter can tell us whether this
particular function is still in use, or will be in use in the future?
