There is at least one similar "cast-reject" in swab.c (CVS HEAD
version as well).

Thanks for your lonely reply!  Probably other developers became afraid
to have to help me compile the whole suite, which may not be a task
for everyone...

I will have to study the thing a lot before I could even think of
contributing.  I really don't want to ask beginner's questions here...
Yesterday I finally remained stuck unable to link something because of
the recent (_)environ changes--the symbol should be provided through a
change in "djgpp.djl" linker script, but the linker is instructed to
use a lib/gcc-lib/.../djgpp-x.djl instead, which doesn't have the
needed PROVIDE directive, but when I replace it with the djgpp.djl CVS
version, the linker chokes on it (parse error on new "LONG(0)" line),
so...  It's a black magic.  Now I see the truth: don't help me, I'm
not worth it! :-))
