cppcheck errors

Hi everyone!

I just ran CppCheck again on a fresh clone of the git repo and saw the
number of error reports was quite smaller than what I reported before.
That's because my previous run was on a (quite older) version; most of
those must've been fixed already.

Some of the error reports remain, though. I opened a ticket for that
and will send a patch that fixes the issues Joel mentioned as worth
looking at. I'll open separate tickets for issues reported as
"warning" and "portability" (such as the void * thing), and send their
respective patches when they're done.

While working the fixes I noticed that the following error:

[cpukit/librpc/src/rpc/netnamer.c:331]: (error) Resource leak: fd

seems to be a false positive. getnetid will be stuck in an endless for
loop until it exits through one of the return statements; all of them
seem to have their corresponding fclose (if necessary).

I also noticed some new error reports. It would be nice if Joel (or
anyone else who knows the code base better than me) took a look at
these and pointed out which ones are third-party code:
