The initial answer from the GCC community is just as you proposed; 
because the platform's ABI can only pass 32-bit quantities by value, 
then the function's prototype is implicitly converted into 'int' or 
'unsigned int', which generates the warning.

Personally I think this warning is bogus, since it is not a failing the 
source code, but an artifact of the platform's ABI and optimizations, 
but I don't have time to pursue it with the GCC team (which may very 
well be a futile effort anyway <G>).
