[PATCH v1] tools build: Fix a number of Wconversion warnings

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Mon Jan 06 2025 - 16:55:06 EST


There's some expressed interest in having the compiler flag
-Wconversion detect at build time certain kinds of potential problems:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250103182532.GB781381@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

As feature detection passes -Wconversion from CFLAGS when set, the
feature detection compile tests need to not fail because of
-Wconversion as the failure will be interpretted as a missing
feature. Switch various types to avoid the -Wconversion issue, the
exact meaning of the code is unimportant as it is typically looking
for header file definitions.
