>Description:
	Meaningless stupid compiler warnings keep libc from building
	on an alpha (using i386 target).

>How-To-Repeat:
	On alpha (probably any other LP64):

		cd /usr/src
		./build.sh -m i386 (other options to set directories).
		Wait a while, then ...

/usr/src/lib/libc/net/inet_neta.c(73): warning: extra bits set to 0 in conversion of 'unsigned int' to 'unsigned long', op & [309]

	The same thing happens in inet_netof.c, and in ../gen/nlist_aout.c

	The problem is code of the form

	u_long var;

	var & 0xFF000000	(the value varies)

	The 0xFF000000 is what the compiler (for inexplicable reasons) is
	complaining about.  Since var is u_long, the const needs to be promoted
	to be u_long as well, so just do that explicitly.

>Fix:
	You probably don't want this patch, there is sure to be a more
	elegant way, but it does work...

	No patch (yet) for nlist_aout.c - I think the real bug there is
	that the (contents of) the file is being compiled at all, though
	installing a similar fix in the definitions of the N_BADMAG and
	N_SYMOFF macros is probably the right thing to do, so compiling
	for platforms that really are a.out will work.
