What compiler/switch is it that warns there?  It does not look like that
particular compiler/switch is very useful.  sizeof(sal_uInt32) is a
known, small integer at compile time.  It should be apparent to both the
compiler and humans that it fits into the sal_uInt32 argument to
rtl_crc32 without needing the static_cast noise.

That's GCC -Wconversion, which I'm using to chase harmful downcasts (e.g. 
sal_Int32 to sal_uInt16 for OUString length, there are still some of them here 
and there). The point is that some of these downcasts, although safe in 
themselves, introduce a lot of noise in the logs and make the real issues 
difficult to detect.
If I remember correctly in this case the warning was probably only in the result of "theSize - 
sizeof(G)" some lines below, I just casted both call places for simmetry. If that's undesired 
I'll revert the cast for the "sizeof(sal_uInt32)" calls.

So you're actually finding problems with that? Good to know---probably makes the resulting increase in noise more tolerable. ;)

Anyway, if any of those "obvious" casts are not actually needed by your toolchain to silence warnings, then yes, might be good if you just removed those again.
