  * resolution:  => wontfix

Comment:

 I am not going to make this change. Asio's use is the approach shown in
 epoll's man page. Furthermore, -Wconversion is not part of -Wall or
 -Wextra and it is not feasible (or desirable) to suppress all possible
 warnings.

 If you want to propose that these constants be made unsigned then I
 suggest you raise a ticket against glibc.
