void* is not a pointer-to-object type

["Breuer, Markus" <markus dot breuer at materna dot de>]

Since migrating from gcc 2.8.1 to 2.95.2 the gcc delivers a warning message
at streambuf.h line 485 (void* ist not a pointer-to-object type).
I use the compiler switches -Wall and -pedantic because e need all warning
messages. But this warning I cannot avoid because it is in the system
headers.

Another problem I have is using purify while my application uses c++
exceptions. Whenever an exception is thrown, purify dumps a core. Rational
says the problem is known, but there's no workaround. I am not really sure,
if there's a problem in solaris gcc. But perhaps you've heard about this
problem and found out another way to use purify with exceptions. Perhaps
there exists a compiler switch which helps to avopid this problem?!
Or is there an gnu tool, which does same as purify? Thx for answer!
