Interesting - I don't get these but do see another one in the same file:

cmd_nvedit.c:408:2: warning: format ‘%x’ expects argument of type
‘unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘long unsigned int’ [-Wformat]

I'm not sure what to do with that last one - the two arguments are the
same and %X should work ok as unsigned I thought. Since it doesn't
happen with my compiler I'm not sure of the best fix - perhaps a cast?

I will send a patch for these.

This is because an earlier change broken Sandbox by adding dlmalloc.o
to common/Makefile twice:

2d01dd9 omap: spl: fix build break due to changes in FAT

I do have a patch to fix it, but a better solution is to apply
Matthias Weisser's 'sandbox: Add improved RAM simulation' patch. I
will test the latest version today.

Simon
