J.C. and 4.4-alpha1 testers, I have done a little bit of testing of 4.4-alpha1 on Rocky Linux 8.8 (server and client) and on a busybox Linux install on a NAS. I looked into the gcc 8.5.0 compiler warnings that I got on Rocky Linux, and have corrected them, or silenced the ones that should not be an issue. Attached are two context diff patch files, one to fix the compiler warnings, and one to make a couple updates that I had applied to 4.3.30 previously. My updates fix the busybox Linux client build, and enhance the temperature graph to optionally display both Celsius and Fahrenheit readings.
I have not fully tested 4.4-alpha1 yet, but wanted to get these firstpatches released for 4.4-alpha2.

Thanks for the patches!
Yes, the build errors had been a concern for me as well; determining which sections were protected by correct math and which weren't was going to take some time, and this is quite helpful.
I've created a 4.3.31 branch for similar concerns and many of these are just as applicable there. There's also a corruption bug on some loads that is crashing on F28 (and F29), so that release will probably just be build fixes for the stable tree.
