Comment (by fatman@…):

 Line 45 of the output:

 {{{./boost/thread/win32/interlocked_read.hpp:71:13: error: cast from
 'void*' to 'long int' loses precision}}}

 suggests we're casting a pointer to a 32-bit integer. We can get away with
 that in 32 bits, but on a 64-bit system? No kidding it loses precision,
 we've just thrown away half the pointer. I'm guessing that's not the
 intended effect?
