Yes, but you shouldn't have to...

Yes.  We have a basic issue with the testing platform right now that does not
allow us to see compiler warnings unless the compilation fails.  Compilers
vary widely in the warnings they produce so even though date-time compiles
fine with -Wall using gcc (my primary compiler) these kind of problems can
crop up. Anyway, I'll look into these, but it will probably have to wait for 1.34.
