Hmm... I am not sure why older compiler is not complaining this. Unfortunately
both x86 and cross compiler are not throwing any warnings though :(

gcc version 5.3.0 (GCC)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

gcc version 4.8.3 (OpenWrt/Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04 r47724)
Target: arm-openwrt-linux-uclibcgnueabi

Any suggestions welcome.
