recasting an error to a warning?

[Mark Winstead <mwinstead@xxxxxxxxx>]

Using gcc on a Itanium chip with Linux SUSE I get the error message 
(and similar ones):
/localviews/hpc/vc/src/ace/ace_virtual.cpp:1714: error: cast from 
'void*' to 'int' loses precision

I know that what is happening is a 64 bit value is being cast to a 32 
bit value. The problem is I've counted 427 instances of this or a 
like error. The developer's say they've made this code work on other 
64 bit platforms -- what is going on is that they took a 32 bit value 
and stored it in the larger, and this is coming back down. (no, I 
don't know why they did this). So it just needs a simple truncation.

Either there is a flag hidden in the makefiles that is promoting a 
warning to an error here, or I hope there is a flag that casts this 
error to a warning. Help?
