Then you're mixing 2 different issues. You're talking about the
"dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules"
warning. What I get is a "cast from 'void*' to 'int' loses precision"
error, which you get from trying to store a 64 bits value into a 32 bits
variable. I can guaranty you that using a 'char*' instead of a 'void*'
won't change anything. It generates the same error, I've sent patches for
that case before, too.

As long as it builds and works, I'm fine. :)
