Problems with 2.5.3 under Debian Linux

[rsync at ka9q.net]

I'm having serious problems with the current 2.5.3 release under
Debian "testing" and the 2.4.19-pre2 Linux kernel.

As you can see from the appended build log, I get many compiler
warnings. More seriously, when I install and try to use the
resulting binaries over ssh, things bomb horribly, e,g:

bash-2.05a$ rsync -vaz homer-rr.ka9q.net:wwv_wwvh .
receiving file list ... done
wwv_wwvh
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (69 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(151)
bash-2.05a$ 

This was with 2.5.3 on both ends. Here's the build log:
