What am I missing here?

Compiler bug? I've seen a case where MSVC++ 6 was confused about qualifiers; perhaps GCC is getting confused here, e.g. by the (presumed) typedef "voidp"?

Oof, I was afraid of that.

What version of GCC is this?

3.4.2

I'll try another version and see what happens.

ps. I was wondering (and this issue made me think of it again) if maybe in the release branch (for 0.99.6) we should turn off (by default) warnings-as-errors. Every time I've gone to a different-from-my-usual platform I've had to either patch it or disable warnings-as-errors. Do we really want to deal with all the questions that will result from hundreds or thousands of users who compile their own hitting some new warning?
