[Bug c++/24667] [4.0/4.1 Regression] -Wcast-qual fails to reject offending cast for a old style cast

Am I correct in expecting that const_cast<...> should pass -Wcast-qual without
warning?  That's the way I use it (in the few and rare cases that demand it)
and it's met my expectations thus far.  I'm kind of surprised I haven't tripped
this bug myself, but that's because I stopped using C-style casts long ago,
enforced by -Wold-style-cast -Werror.  Adding -Wold-style-cast does trip a
warning about old casts with the posted code, but nothing further about
discarding qualifiers (gcc4).
