No, GCC consistently refused to compile it. It's just that this code is rarely compiled -- it's normally ifdeffed out, so GCC doesn't see the problem. I suppose that on AIX the code is not ifdeffed out, so that's why the bug was reported for AIX. In older Emacs versions, the types were different and the "*" was OK; it became a stray "*" only fairly recently.
