[Bug c++/33652] New: Problem in libgcov.c (__gcov_execve) for target x86_64-pc-mingw32

["nightstrike at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Building g++ for target x86_64-pc-mingw32 currently fails.  Here is the
description from Kai Tietz, along with his proposed patch:

An interesting issue is that there is problem related that in c case the
type char * const[] is not equivalent to type char *const *. Is this done
by intention ?
For the w64 target the parameter of exec(??) methods are using 'const char
* const *' but gcc uses the type 'char * const []' for argp and envp
arguments. In earlier versions the types were equivalent.

See other report: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2007-10/msg00008.html

So I suggest the following patch for w64 in libgcov.c:

ChangeLog:

2007-10-02  Kai Tietz  <kai.tietz@onevision.com>
       * libgcov.c: (__gcov_execve): Special case for x86_64-pc-mingw32.
