 It probably doesn't; but there's some chance that this only hides the
 warnings but does not avoid whatever issue is leading gcc to think
 wrong things. You should definitely report this as a gcc bug...
 
 (Since it looks to be warning on exactly the upper half of the
 address, I'm wondering if it's got wrong types or sizes somewhere.)
