i agree, let's summon the expert again...

joseph, i agree with daniel.  the code below should compile, but
x and y are not compatible according to the builtin.  are there
any objections to making a patch to fix this?

const char *x;
char *y;
int foo[__builtin_types_compatible_p (__typeof(x), __typeof(y)) == 1 ? 
1 : -1];
