You could apply the following patch: 

--- boinc-4.71.orig/lib/shmem.C
+++ boinc-4.71/lib/shmem.C
@@ -128,7 +128,7 @@
         return ERR_SHMGET;
     }
     p = shmat(id, 0, 0);
-    if ((int)p == -1) {
+    if ((long)p == -1) {
         return ERR_SHMAT;
     }
     *pp = p;

I've already reported this to the upstream developers, but they didn't fixed 
it yet.
