Good catch on the void* case. My initial version used a
POINTER_TYPE_P check, much as you suggested (not quite, but close).
It was uglier than the 3-liner I eventually posted, mostly because of
the reference squashing elsewhere in build_c_cast(), but it worked. I
have no idea why I forgot the void* case after switching to the
3-liner.
Thanks for looking at the patch, and extra thanks for catching the
void* bug.
