It's not -std=gnu99 that's causing those messages, it's -pedantic and
-Wconversion respectively.

We're not going to do anything about this one; certainly we won't stop
using int128 where it's available, and there isn't any other apparent way
to suppress the warning.  I doubt that -pedantic is a useful switch in
practice, and this seems to be a particularly unhelpful bit of pedantry.
Consider dropping that flag.

According to the gcc manual, inserting explicit casts would silence these;
is that worth doing?  I doubt anyone cares about making all our code
-Wconversion clean, but maybe making the headers clean would be worth
the trouble.
