Compiling examples/loadables/finfo.c (bash 4.4.23, 5.0-alpha) on
OpenBSD produces various warnings about ill-matched types:

------------------->

<-------------------

I was thinking about how to fix those, but then I noticed existing bad
casts in the code, e.g.,

                printf("%ld\n", (long) st->st_size);

which potentially truncate values.

I don't know if the example loadables are considered to be more
than, well, rough examples, so I'm uncertain if this should even
be considered a problem.
