Synopsis: GCC 3.0 - ternary operator and "const char *"

State-Changed-Why:
    Yep, just like mandated by the C++ Standard.  String literals may be implicitly converted to type char*, but since operands 2 and 3 of the ternary operator have type const char[], they decay to const char *, and then, the result of the ternary operator cannot be converted to char*.
