Well there's two things, why cast at all, and why did I add the
arguments.  (I think you meant the first one, but I'll answer both.)

Regarding the first question, you need some sort of cast because the
prototype for strcmp is "int(*)(const char *, const char *)" and
bsearch is expecting const void * arguments.  Gcc complains when you
pass it strcmp without any cast at all.

Regarding the second question, I added arguments to the cast because
-Wstrict-prototypes didn't like it without them.
