No warning, the extensions are used just fine.

My backtrace with OverflowError ends like so.

 File "_dirstate_helpers_pyx.pyx", line 827, in
bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_pyx._pack_stat
(bzrlib/_dirstate_helpers_pyx.c:5547)
OverflowError: can't convert negative value to unsigned long

Note that it's reporting line 827, which in 2.4.0 says:

    aliased[3] = htonl(stat_value.st_dev)

Could this be the problem if dev_t is int?
