Those might be 64-bit-safety issues, depending on what the 2 offending 
pointer types are.

This is harmless.

This is the error. Is there any inline assembly being used? I suspect that 
there's 32-bit-only inline assembly involved here (unless it's C code being 
compiled to assembly with -m32 and then assembled as 64-bit or some other 
completely stupid thing like that, but inline assembly is my #1 suspect).
