[R] e1071, R1.9.0, Solaris 2.9, should I be worried?

In R 1.9.0 running under Solaris 2.9 on a SunBlade 100,
with "Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 2001/05/15" as the
C++ compiler, I just did
> install.packages("e1071")
The output includes these lines, which I have wrapped to fit nicely in mail:

How worried should I be?
I guess the "Warning: x hides Solver::x" warnings related to a deliberate
style choice, but what about the "String literal converted to char*" ones?
