I see little value in these transformations. Did we catch any real
issue here? All this type casting and replacement is just churn.

I certainly don't want such churn in libbpf, and I'd leave BPF
selftests as is as well. int vs u64 can have subtle and non-obvious
implications for BPF code generation (for no-alu32 variants
especially), and I think BPF CI already exposed some of those already.

I think we can live without -Wsign-compare just fine.

I was convinced by [1] that this needed to be done not just for current 
version of the code but for future code being more robust initially.I 
have already done all the work and I can follow daniel's suggestion for 
the next version.Otherwise,This means then that the TODO comment to add 
that compiler warning in the makefile needs to be removed.

Also I wanted to ask since the CI bot had success with my patch.What 
does this [2] mean exactly.

Thank you for your time reviewing and helping.

Mehdi
