No, just ran and the issue persisted with the above commit in place.

~/dpdk/app/test/test_rcu_qsbr.c: In function ‘test_rcu_qsbr_thread_unregister’:
~/dpdk/app/test/test_rcu_qsbr.c:233:10: error: comparison of integer expressions of different signedness: ‘unsigned int’ and ‘int’ [-Werror=sign-compare]
