Similar error (but, to be honest, much stranger) will also appear also in file "plugins/network/tcp/tcpgameclient.cpp" at line 344. I have tried to change the code by forcing the casting on both occasions, and this allowed for a clean compilation, but I doubt that I got it right in any case (especially in the second file which I mentioned above). I have marked the bug critical since the library cannot be compiled (but I'm not sure if it should be marked critical - your call). If someone can confirm that they get the same error on x86 arch, this should probably be pushed upstream towards the cel developers.
do an emerge --sync please This is (hopefully) already fixed.
