I need all this data because

  1) What appears to be a simple warning, to fix in malloca.c, is not like
     this. We have code in place (in gnulib-tool and the *.m4 macros) whose
     effect should be to neutralize -Wsign-compare options that you may have
     in $CC, when compiling malloca.c. We will therefore NOT change malloca.c
     to remove such a warning. Instead what needs to be done is to look why
     the GL_CFLAG_GNULIB_WARNINGS mechanics does not work in your environment.
     For this we need a "How to reproduce" of the whole package.

     In summary: Don't assume that a question/report that looks simple to you
     is simple to fix.

  2) Several times already, you reported problems to us that were not repro-
     ducible by me or Paul. I formulated the bug report template in such a
     way that (hopefully) you will reproduce the problem in an directory that
     was created and populated from scratch, before you report it to us.

Invalid bug report. See above.
