-Wconversion would find this..

       -Wconversion
              Warn  if  a prototype causes a type conversion that is different
              from what would happen to the same argument in the absence of  a
              prototype.  This includes conversions of fixed point to floating
              and vice versa, and conversions changing the width or signedness
              of  a  fixed  point argument except when the same as the default
              promotion.

However its a little bit too restrictive, as it complains about any
mismatch and the compile doesn't get even one C file done before
erroring out. 

If I add -Wconversion to my cflags, it first trips on sys/bus.h
(harmless passing of "1" to a function taking a long),
and then it pukes all over atomic.h:

In file included from ../../../sys/systm.h:41,
                 from ../../../cam/cam.c:35:
machine/atomic.h: In function `atomic_set_acq_8':
machine/atomic.h:308: warning: passing arg 2 of `atomic_set_8' with different width due to prototype
machine/atomic.h: In function `atomic_set_rel_8':
machine/atomic.h:308: warning: passing arg 2 of `atomic_set_8' with different width due to prototype


Any idea what its problem is?

PS:  What we want is something like -msg_enable level6 on
the compaq compiler, which just warns about truncations:

 cc: Info: foo.c, line 14: In this statement, "l" has a larger data
     size than "int".  Assignment might result in data loss. (truncintasn)
