There is at least one way around this.
Have the tool extract the old declarations into a header file (or many
header files) and then load them up with -imacros "old_header_decls.h"
on the command line. The compiler will then complain (when the
-Wconversion flag is present) of any changed semantics implied by the
conflict of the two different declaration types.
Otherwise, elint might be able to catch these.
