Compared to Java, C/C++ compilers tend to be very verbose when it comes to warnings - the default is to tell you about everything, instead of just printing out a short summary as Java does. Plus, I don't think the messages you're seeing are actually compiler warnings. They look like they're coming from the code itself, some sort of preprocessor trick for warning of code that's valid C, but not doing things in the correct way for Linux specifically. Java doesn't really have an equivalent, but some of the code-quality tools like Checkstyle achieve the same thing... Simon.
