compilation problem warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]

[attila-bial-cn]

Hello,
I've got the following error when trying to build:

$ autoconf
$ ./configure
...
$ make

setuid(getuid());

I workarounded it by adding '-Wno-unused-result' to CFLAGS in include.mk file at line 29 before invoking 'make'.

My system is Ubuntu 15.04 with the following build tools:
gcc (Ubuntu 4.9.2-10ubuntu13) 4.9.2
autoconf 2.69
GNU Make 4.0

fix

(void)setuid(getuid());

does not seem to be working with latest gcc compiler

I had to change it to
if (setuid(getuid()));

Thanks. I have added your fix on the develop branch.
