Can you elaborate?

Where did this RPM come from?

What error messages did you get?

I haven't verified all of the warnings you listed, but they look like
they mostly come from debug messages, and probably will not cause any
change during operation.

That's not to say that there aren't other places where the code isn't
64-bit clean, but given that NUT hardly ever handles anything large
enough to overflow a 32-bit register, I'd say it is more productive to
look at runtime error messages rather than compile-time warnings.
