The warnings from the 4.0 snapshot were pretty messed up. It always

It printed a lot of new incomprehensible warnings like:
fs/reiserfs/bitmap.c:756: warning: pointer targets in passing
argument 1 of <garbage> Apart from being incorrect English what is

is definitely *not* a problem I have seen before. Unless someone knows better, I recommend you file a PR (with a reduced test case if possible). The diagnostic GCC was trying to issue is probably

warning: pointer targets in passing argument %d of %s differ in signedness
