No, I meant ffs.  ffs() is a global function, in scope if <strings.h> is
included; so using it as a local variable name will trigger -Wshadow
warnings from (at least some versions of) gcc.

Agreed that the issue (of using ffs as a local variable name) is
pre-existing, and therefore cleanups for -Wshadow are not related to
this series and not something you need to necessarily worry about.
