A recent upgrade to clang/XCode caused it to start finding a whole slew of
unused const variables from ASN-generated c files, which it treats as errors.
I have a patch I'll submit to gerrit in a minute.
There are still many warnings about unused *functions*, which hopefully won't
be triggered as errors someday by a new version of clang.
As a side note: libsmi now fails to compile with clang/xcode as well due to an
empty struct.  Ironically, Gerald submitted a patch to libsmi to fix this,
which was accepted it seems, but hasn't made it into a new libsmi version yet
apparently.
