The basic problem here is that the types that are supposed to be used here have not been written yet -- they should be added in icode, rtl, x86, ... modules and the params are supposed to use the union of these types. The warning is there on purpose to remind me to write (one fine day) the type declarations in the remaining hipe subdirs. As I wrote, if you are bothered by the warning, change the Makefile instead. Not the type.

PS. A courtesy mail of the form: "I am thinking of changing this in this way... what do you think about it" would have avoided my frustration (and most probably yours too).
