It looks as though SEM_FAILED is defined as -1 on OS X 10.4, and (sem_t *)-1 on 
OS X 10.5+, so it's really a bug in the OS X header file.  Possible workarounds:

(1) write (sem_t *)SEM_FAILED everywhere in the multiprocessing code
(2) define a PY_SEM_FAILED macro and use that
(3) don't worry, be happy;  i.e., just ignore these warnings on OS X 10.4, 
content that they're not a real problem (provided we're not trying to compile 
with a C++ compiler, that is).
