Aren't those warnings about truncations that will happen on any
platform where IV and UV are 64 bits? For example, that last one in
doio.c is about:
while (++mark <= sp) {
I32 proc;
SvGETMAGIC(*mark);
if (!(SvIOK(*mark) || SvNOK(*mark) || looks_like_number(*mark)))
Perl_croak(aTHX_ "Can't kill a non-numeric process ID");
proc = SvIV_nomg(*mark);
APPLY_TAINT_PROPER();
if (PerlProc_kill(proc, val))
tot--;
}
Since proc is an I32 and SvIV_nomg returns an IV (which may be either
32 or 64 bits), the warning seems to me a fair complaint. But not
likely to be part of the build problems reported here.
