Is this really a good direction to move in?  The long term plan, as I
understood it, was to simply build everything with
--enable-auto-image-base and avoid forever the problem of having to
manually rebase ever.  Rebaseall is just a crutch to get us there while
we still have legacy packages built without having image bases assigned
by the hash; it should not be considered a permanent solution.

The cast-as-lvalue was a nonstandard gcc extension that was disabled in
C++ mode (and deprecated for C mode) starting with gcc 3.4.x.  Likely
this package is so old that it was last built with gcc 3.3.x which still
allowed the construct.  So, one workaround is to temporarily install the
[prev] version of gcc-g++ and gcc-core which are the 3.3 versions.
