[Bug 206665] ports-mgmt/pkg : 1.6.3 building for RPI2 (arm) gets: passing 'size_t *' (aka 'unsigned int *') to type 'off_t *' (aka 'long long *')

This was the very first time that I've built pkg as a port on the RPI2B (arm).
The unsigned int* vs. long long* warning did not stop the build but look
problematical to me.

My powerpc64 (PowerMac) and amd64 history would be less likely to generate such
a warning and if they did I did not notice historically.

A powerpc (32-bit PowerMac) might get the warnings but I've not done any port
building activity there for a very long time. It would add big endian to the
mix (RPI2B arms being set up for little endian). Big endian long long (64 bit)
getting a big endian long int (32 bit) for the same address is more likely to
be problematical:  the 32 bits ends up as the most significant part of the 64
bits.


Sorry if the extractions from the log were too long for a description.
