Or do you mean you mean x86 aka IA-32? Are both compilers producing 32-bit output? Both producing 64-bit output? One 32-bit and one 64-bit? That could make all the difference, compiling printf("%lu", sizeof(1)); will warn for i686 and not for x86_64, for example. > variables on both machines and didn't find anything suspicious - no > CFLAGS, CC or something related to compilation at all.

Yes. Of course. If a header in /usr/include has a #warning in it on one machine and not in the other it's going to warn on one machine and not on the other. That's a silly example, but t here are loads of things that could cause it. > What else can I check to learn what's the culprit here? All you've said is "I checked everything" and not told us anything useful. What's the warning? What does the code look like that triggers it?
