13: EFIAPI usage 2013-01-15 Understood
Mismatch between functions declared EFIAPI but not defined EFIAPI.
14: EFIAPI usage 2013-01-15 Understood
Function pointer type PFN_NET_CONFIGURE is NOT defined as EFIAPI but is
used to point to EFIAPI functions. This causes conflicts and results in
improper operation.
15: Build Error 2013-09-20 Open
Predicates in ns_addr.c and res_mkupdate.c need to also include explicit
comparisons if an assignment side-effect is used. Otherwise a warning
will be generated which is promoted to a fatal error.
