I assume you are talking about:

../../../../../../rtems-4.6.99.3/c/src/../../cpukit/httpd/emfdb.c: In 
function '
dbZero':
../../../../../../rtems-4.6.99.3/c/src/../../cpukit/httpd/emfdb.c:222: 
warning:
dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

The code violates the C99 aliasing rules. The simplest workaround is to 
add '-fno-strict-aliasing' to the httpd Makefile. I suppose fixing this 
in the code would require the use of unions and that is a fair amount of 
work.

How safe is the httpd code on a 16bit machine ? For example is the 
hAlloc code in h.c ok ? The use of void** and int seems to be mixed.
