It's the same all over the place. I've identified a number of places for
the VAX. People are probably working on this. Don't know if it's a new
version of the compiler, or (more likely) the addition of another warning
switch for the compilation.

Many of these are simlpy code in the form:

char *foo = "kaka";

which needs to be changed to:

const char *foo = "kaka";
