We installed GCC on a DEC/Alpha/OSF configuration. As known the 
Alpha-processor is 64-bit. This results in 8-byte pointers. In various parts 
of the sources of gcc (2.4.5) a pointer is casted to an int (??). These spots 
can be located, because of warnings from the compiler. However, also long's 
(8 bytes) are assigned to int's (4 bytes); is it possible to get the compiler 
producing some warnings about these assignments?
