That's odd. Neither iossim.m or iossim.gyp shows any recent change, so I wonder 
how this can work for Chromium (or WebRTC for that matter, since we also build 
ARM64, and use this library). 

Can you provide details on exact reproduction steps? What version of Xcode do 
you have?

+smut in case this is a known issue. Just disabling the warning in iossim.gyp 
seems like the easiest solution (but has to be done in Chromium's src repo).

My local ios builds are working, for native 32 and 64 bit ARM, and Intel 
simulator.
I'm on xcode 6.4 (6e35b)

OK. I don't know how old the version is on the bots, but I filed 
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=579424 requesting upgrade 
to Xcode 7, since that's what we have in WebRTC, and we don't hit this error.
