Maybe MOS should switch to an newer version as original 2.95.3 has some
bugs on PPC as I had to learn myself ;-)

Thank you. Note: I all wanted with my mail was to make other developers
aware that there is an issue with types.
And there are other issue like different NDK versions to name just one.

Probably there should, yes. Jens? ;-)

I believe the problem was there before GCC4 but only C++ complained
by default. Personally, I don't think this GCC4 warning is very helpful
but GCC developers seem to think different.
