... this is illegal.  Unspecified width is BLKmode, not VOIDmode.
Additionally, the modes of source and destination must match.  The
only object that is allowed to be VOIDmode is an integer constant.

You certainly want this mem to be Pmode, since this is a casesi pattern.
Note that unlike previous versions, gcc 3.1 allows Pmode in md patterns.
