Interesting.  In the past I did not have this problem when building
with the XL compiler on our BlueGene, but I get these same warnings
(and others).

Here are the code fragments for those lines:

  if (i==0){
         displacement[i] = 0;
         MPI_Get_address( &(xbuf[i][0]), &a0 );
    } else {
         MPI_Get_address( &(xbuf[i][0]), &ai );
         displacement[i] = (MPI_Aint) (ai-a0);
    }

xbuf is declared up at the beginning of ncmpi_get_mvara_all as 
void **xbuf = NULL, **cbuf = NULL;

I guess this should be declared as size_t**  ?

I'll try to clean this up.  In the meantime, can you use gcc to build
pnetcdf?
