This was fixed in my 'next' branch with the following commit:
https://bitbucket.org/tbird20d/fuego-core/commits/9f9ef8ff6d56a9ccb4b858eb59640f1354feaf1a

Please do a 'git pull' on the appropriate fuego-core repository on your host, to pull
the latest commits for this branch.

Thanks for the report!

I haven't looked into fixing these warnings ("deprecated conversion from
string constant to 'char *'").  They are not the items causing the build
failure, but it would be nice to get them resolved also.  It's low
priority for the release.  If anyone has an idea for fixing this, please
let me know.  Since they're coming from a macro, I think it's likely a
simple fix at a single location would resolve it, but I haven't had time
to look at it.

This is the actual bug.  Casting a (void*) to an (int) for a 64-bit architecture.

The commit mentioned above changes the type for callno to 'intptr_t'
to avoid this problem.

Please pull the commit and try the test again.

Thanks.
