OK - I've ploughed through the great long list of warnings you posted.
The vast majority of them are:
- signed/unsigned inconsistencies
- unused variables (sloppy, but safe)
- pointer vs integer values

The only ones that look at all significant are the first three
compilation warnings from processing SNMP.xs (lines 226-244)

None of these feel worth holding the release up for.
I propose this issue be moved to "lightyellow"
