I think I remember seeing these errors before.  I believe they are the 
result of using an older version of tn5250.  Could you please run the 
following command and tell me what it says:

tn5250 -version

If it doesn't say "tn5250 0.17.4" then getting the latest release of 
tn5250 is the first requirement.  In an earlier message you said that you 
had 0.17.3, 0.17.4, and 0.17.5 from CVS all installed.  That sounds like a 
lot of potential for problems, particularly if you have one version 
installed in one place (like /usr) and another version installed in 
another (like /usr/local).

Once tn5250 version 0.17.4 is installed then build x5250 using the source 
from:

http://www.eaerich.com/x5250-0.5.2-pre4.tar.gz

It should build with no warnings.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
