Comment 2 Andrew Bartlett 2005-08-15 15:55:49 UTC 
This just changes the warnings, it doesn't fix the problem.  Indeed, it is not
possible to easily fix the problem, and there isn't a real problem anyway. 
Application of the discard_const_p() macro (used a lot on Samba4) would shut the
compiler up.

Warning is gone from 3.0.23rc3
