Nico Huber commented the following [1].
I don't see those warnings because I build for x86-64. I guess
they could be fixed by casting to `ptrdiff_t` (from stddef.h)
instead of `uint64_t`.
And indeed, using `ptrdiff_t` fixes the warning. But as Stefan
Reinauer commented in [2], `intptr_t` is more appropriate as this
is just a pointer and no pointer difference.
So `intptr_t` is taken, which fixes these issues warned about too.
These warnings were introduced in commit »inteltool: Add support for
dumping AMB registers« (4b7b320f) [3].
