In that case I don't understand your question :)

Well, the first warning looks just like using (uint64_t)(-1) on a 32bit
system, so it might or might not be a problem. I would actually suggest
you look where it is set and provide something sane -- MySQL might
resize some internal data structures for that. You might need to raise
the process limits for MySQL to fix the other errors.
