These all refer to code that uses sv_reftype and which expects it to 
return a char*.  And that's what sv_reftype's prototype says, too:

#define sv_reftype Perl_sv_reftype
PERL_CALLCONV char* Perl_sv_reftype(pTHX_ SV* sv, int ob)

It seems that your perl is different.  But anyway, I think these 
warnings are harmless.
