hi,

building nginx-0.8.41 from source, i’m seeing @ make,

…  
objs/src/os/unix/ngx\_process.o: In function `ngx_process_get_status': /usr/local/src/nginx-0.8.41/src/os/unix/ngx_process.c:490: warning:`sys\_errlist’ is deprecated; use `strerror' or`strerror\_r’ instead  
/usr/local/src/nginx-0.8.41/src/os/unix/ngx\_process.c:490: warning:  
`sys_nerr' is deprecated; use`strerror’ or `strerror_r' instead make[1]: Leaving directory`/data/src/nginx-0.8.41’

> 

i understand these are warnings, not errors, and it seems there’s no ill  
effect,

nginx -V

```
                                                  nginx version:

```

nginx/0.8.41
