Right I posted this to guile-devel a week or so ago.  Someone posted a
(void *) coercion fix, but I haven't had a chance to look in to it.

I'd be happier with -fno-strict-aliasing, but I don't really want that
either.  I'd rather see if we can alter the code to avoid the warning.

We've worked around a bunch of warnings of this type before (I think
Marius fixed most of them), so hopefully we can just adjust the code
to avoid these too.

I'd be strongly opposed to turning off -Werror.  I'd like to consider
that a last resort.
