The symbol type field in the COFF debug info has somehow changed. 14 is the code for
unsigned int, but 24 doesn't exist in the references that I checked. This warning
probably isn't dangerous, but just the same if you can boil it down to a simple
testcase that you can post that shows the problem, I'd appreciate it.
