Looks like you're still in 64 bit mode. Otherwise a cast from a pointer to a 32 bit integer shouldn't lose any precision. 

CU, Ingo
Thanks for responding Ingo, but it doesn't appear that's the problem unless linux32 is broken on my machine. After I got your message, I removed the "generated" directory, and rebuilt the build tools while in linux32 mode, and I still got the same error. Thinking that perhaps my sources were corrupt afterwards, I completely removed my source directories, and fetched them again via svn, rebuilt the build tools, and tried again with the same results. (Again in linux32 mode.)
So either my linux32 executable doesn't currently work, or perhaps there's something else about my system that the build process doesn't like at the moment. 

Thanks again,
Raymond
