It successfully completes the build.  I don't know if the warnings are
harmless or not.  I would have thought the 9.2 fix would have been
backported to something as recent as version 9.1.x though especially
since 9.1 is the default version for pgsql in pkgsrc.  If everyone is
sure that these warnings are harmless, I suppose its okay to live with them.
