So when I build a 4xx config I see:

            if ((tmp = getenv ("ipaddr")) != NULL) {
                    sprintf (&build_buf[strlen (build_buf - 1)],

            }

these seem suspect.. should this be &build_buf[strlen(build_buf) - 1] ?

I haven't seen those warnings before. Triggered by your newer gcc most likely. But you seem to be correct. The current code is definitely wrong. And I think that your version is wrong as well. This should do the "right thing":

&build_buf[strlen(build_buf)]

I have no VxWorks platform to test this though.
