	Okay, I redid this patch incorporating all of your changes above
plus updates made necessary by the last gcc2 merge. 

	Regarding the casts, I simply avoided the changes which made
casting away const-ness necessary.  I'll address those sometime in the
future but its not important for now.  (I'm simply trying to get a
bootstrap using -Wwrite-strings into a managable shape.)  At the point
where we want to add -Wwrite-strings to WARN_CFLAGS, I can bring it up
again. 

	Anyway, is this one okay to install?
