Subject: [Linux-ia64] gcc warnings on truncations?

Is there a way to get gcc to warn (or ideally, error) on truncations to
shorter types? ie:

	int len = strlen(blah);

should warn because strlen returns a size_t, which on 64-bit platforms
is 8 bits and ints are 4. This would be a nice sanity check in our
porting effort to make sure there's no possibility of loosing data. I've
poked through the docs and nothing seemed to do it.
