I'm not sure how useful it is to treat that patch as the cause.  I used 
__func__ to keep the example within ISO C (apart from the cases of the 
non-standard functions index and rindex).  You can get the same effect 
with "f" in place of __func__ and -Wwrite-strings (though the constant is 
const char * with -Wwrite-strings, these standard functions remove 
constness found in their argument in C).  I suspect you'll find a 
different causing patch for

char *strchr(const char *, int);
char *strrchr(const char *, int);
char *index(const char *, int);
char *rindex(const char *, int);
char *strpbrk(const char *, const char *);
char *strstr(const char *, const char *);
char *p;
void
f (void)
{
  p = strchr("f", 'f');
  p = strrchr("f", 'f');
  p = index("f", 'f');
  p = rindex("f", 'f');
  p = strpbrk("f", "f");
  p = strstr("f", "f");
}

with -Wwrite-strings, although the underlying bug is the same.
