making perl5.5.64 with threads gave gcc warnings​:

sv.c​: In function `Perl_ptr_table_fetch'​:
sv.c​:6401​: warning​: cast from pointer to integer of different size
sv.c​: In function `Perl_ptr_table_store'​:
sv.c​:6418​: warning​: cast from pointer to integer of different size
sv.c​: In function `Perl_ptr_table_split'​:
sv.c​:6458​: warning​: cast from pointer to integer of different size
make​: [extra.pods] Error 1 (ignored)
ODBM_File.c​: In function `XS_ODBM_File_TIEHASH'​:
ODBM_File.c​:92​: warning​: passing arg 1 of `Perl_Gcurinterp_ptr' from
incompatible pointer type
ODBM_File.c​:92​: warning​: passing arg 1 of `Perl_Gcurinterp_ptr' from
incompatible pointer type
ODBM_File.c​:92​: warning​: passing arg 1 of `Perl_Gcurinterp_ptr' from
incompatible pointer type
[snipped]

Thread.xs​:25​: warning​: `struct perl_thread' declared inside parameter list
Thread.xs​:25​: warning​: its scope is only this definition or declaration,
which is probably not what you want.

The patch below fixes the problems in sv.c and ODBM_File.c. I am
happy with the patches to sv.c but less happy with what I have done
to ODBM_File.xs. I have not managed to fix the Thread.xs errors.

I also get warnings from Configure​:
<poll.h> found.
Guessing which symbols your C compiler and preprocessor define...
:2​: warning​: `#ifdef' argument starts with a digit
:7​: warning​: `#ifdef' argument starts with a digit
tcsetattr() found.
