Not sure on this one. I would have suspected that the .elf file was not created 
(i.e. the compile/link failed), and hence could not create the .lss file.

Stuff like that can work. However, we need to see the offending line (and 
relevant code to that line) in order to help you with the warning. With a 
warning like that, you most likely just need to have the appropriate typecast 
on your initialization value.

You would have to post the code with the error output.

Mmm. Could be. We would need to know your file layout and the makefile snippet 
for cleaning.
 
Overall, you have to give us more information in order to help.
