Why not change the definition of SomeFunction to:
void SomeFunction (struct test *StructPointer);
Then you dont need to cast at all!!
BTW I dont think far is recognised by gcc as a valid keyword??
possibly add somthing like

#ifdef __GNUC__
#define far
#endif

to the top of the file??

#ifdef __GNUC__
SomeFunction ((char*)&MyTest);
#else
SomeFunction(&MyTest);
#endif
