We already have an incompatible change for 4.2 (the memory
allocation interface), so I tend to think we should put this
into 4.2 a well.

I think regression-tests on 32-bit systems are necessary for
this, if at all possible also on big- and little endian machines.

If it is something that can be diagnosed easily, I'd be in favor
doing the warning.

I don't quite understand why it would take so long.  Did it
actually do so during your testing?  Would it do the same
for an allocatable array?
