I don't know. A quick check of NetBSD seems to indicate that their ia64
port only runs in emulation mode; OpenBSD doesn't list an ia64 port.

That error is gcc oh-so-helpfully telling you that it decided not to inline
an function declared inline. Why the gcc devs decided that was deserving of
a diagnostic on -Wall is beyond me. I think that you can squelch it by
passing -Wno-inline to gcc.

During startup, I see fusefs being started, but when I do: "sshfs
