I only have a ia64 machine running CentOS 3.8, so I'm not able to 
reproduce your problem exactly, but based on the compiler warnings you 
posted here I believe this has been fixed in the latest 2.3.4 snapshot 
of TORQUE 
(http://www.clusterresources.com/downloads/torque/snapshots/torque-2.3.4-snap.200811071123.tar.gz 
  ).

If you want to try out my changes using the tarball you already 
downloaded, please try applying the attached patch and recompiling. It 
should hopefully allow you to use -O2 again without 
--disable-gcc-warnings (unless there are other issues in the code that 
your compiler won't like).

This has also been fixed in the 2.3.4 snapshots and the fix will be 
permanent when TORQUE 2.3.4 is released (which should be soon).
