[PATCH] (Title Corrected) Build fails to compile jchuff.c using gcc 4.8.5 on zLinux

Hi John, David,

If this is the consensus, then perhaps we should consider setting 
--disable-warnings-as-errors by default (in the code), rather than 
depending on the user using an option which is not part of the formal 
build instructions.

Thoughts?

Best Regards
