I don't know the answer, but I definitely don't see thousands of such
warnings on my Fedora 11 box.

I'm sure it's an OS X thing - the headers have all kinds of BSD-ish and Mach-ish arcana that are different from other systems for, uh, deeply-thought-out and carefully-documented reasons. :-) One could get GDB to a clean build with OS X, but it would be a lot of macro gymnastics.
