gcc-20010305 IRIX 5.3 bug report

[wem at bruker dot de (Werner Mausshardt)]

with snapshot gcc-20010305 on IRIX 5.3 the appended code
(in file otto143.c) compiled with: c++ -O2 -Wall -c otto143.c

results in the error message:

otto143.c: In function `void errmes(const char*, ...)':
otto143.c:13: cannot convert `void*' to `char*' for argument `3' to `int 
   vsprintf(char*, const char*, char*)'


the problem does not occur with gcc (instead of c++) and does
also not (!) occur with the IRIX 6.5 build of snapshot gcc-20010305
(compiles without warnings).
