That's a straightforward one. xbatt.c: In function `setColorSymbol': xbatt.c:722: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size xbatt.c:731: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size xbatt.c:739: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size If you check the lines, these warnings actually refer to malloc() calls. malloc() is used without prototype, so the compiler thinks it returns int, and truncates the return value correspondingly. amd64 now can make use of more memory and malloc's default address space has shifted beyond 4 GB, so truncating those pointers to 32 bits will now actually hurt. I'll fix the port shortly. There are probably a number of other ports that suffer the same problem. So far, malloc() pointer truncation bugs were only triggered on alpha, and hardly any users test there. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
