Yes, you're right. The actual message is "expected %qT but argument is of type %qT" (found in c- typeck.c line: 4039), where tree-types are compared (tree type with tree rhstype). Sorry for the mistake and thank you.

There is this message "note: expected `type` but argument > is type of `type`". Are you sure that's what it says? In the current sources search for "but argument" in gcc/c-family/c-format.c, in the GCC 4.4 sources search in gcc/c-typeck.c
