These are certainly just warnings, not indicative of any real bugs.
The lines in question originate from my yescrypt tree, and they are
in there in case the compile-time settings are different or/and we're
building for a 32-bit platform.  It's possible to silence the warnings
with some #if's around these checks, but this would actually introduce a
risk of failing to perform the checks in a build where they are needed.
I'll see what I can do about this in a future version of yescrypt.
Meanwhile, feel free to #if them in jumbo somehow, even though in this
usage yescrypt is fairly likely to face untrusted salt strings.
