Possible new[] regression in 3.4 WRT 3.3.[12]

[David Daney <ddaney at avtrex dot com>]

I have the following code that compiles without warnings with g++ 3.3.2 
(x86-pc-linux) and 3.3.1 (mipsel-linux).  But I get an error under 3.4.

Not being a C++ expert, can someone tell me if my code is bogus, or if 
this is a problem with 3.4.

Here is the code:

----------d1.cpp--------8<------------------------
char **
f1()
{
   char** pSections;
  
   // allocate an array of 10 char pointers.
   pSections = new (char*)[10];
  
   return pSections;
  
}
---------------8<----------------------------

These are the errors:

[daney@dl junk]$ mipsel-linux-g++ --version
