Re: tr/xdiff-fast-hash generates warnings and breaks tests

On Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 (squeeze), the two commits on the
tr/xdiff-fast-hash branch introduces compiler warnings and breaks
t/t0020-crlf.sh and maybe later tests:

What does the following short C program report when run (e.g. put it in 
a file named s.c, then run "gcc -o s s.c" and "./s")?

   #include <stdio.h>
   int main(int argc, const char **argv) {
     printf("%u %u %u\n", sizeof(int), sizeof(long), sizeof(void *));
     return 0;
   }

I suspect you run a 32-bit userland on a 64-bit kernel.

On Ubuntu 12.04 x86, t0020 fails for me as well when I compile with 
XDL_FAST_HASH explicitly set (it's off by default).  It succeeds after 
reverting 6f1af02, though, strangely enough.  No compiler warnings are 
printed in either case.

   $ gcc --version
   gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3

   $ uname -a
   Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 08:43:52 UTC 
2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Also, here are the measurements for master (v1.7.10.2-520-g6a4a482) 
without XDL_FAST_HASH, and with master minus 6f1af02 plus explicitly set 
XDL_FAST_HASH:
