gcc-2.2.2 gives a warning message that I believe is incorrect on the
source code included below.  I configured gcc with mips-sgi-irix4.
I'm using an SGI 4D/35 running Irix 4.0.1.  I have applied a few patches, but
none of them seem relevant here.  Here's the code.

typedef void (*voidfunc_t)(void *);

void fred (void *a)
{
}

void ethel(int *a)
{
}

void lucy(int a)
{
}

void ricky(voidfunc_t func, void *a)
{
    (*func)(a);
}

int main()
{
    int a;
    void *b;
    b = &a;
    ethel(b);
    fred(&a);
    ricky(fred, &a);
    ricky(ethel, &a);
    ricky(lucy, a);
}

The output from running gcc, including the warning messages look like
this:

I'm not absolutely positive, but I believe that the first warning (for
line 28) is incorrect.  Just as it is acceptable to call "ethel(b)"
where b is void *, I think that it should be acceptable to call
"ricky(ethel, &a)" since ethel is compatible with type voidfunc_t.
Thus the warning for line 28 should not be there.  The warnings for
line 29 are valid since an int is not compatible with a void *.
I just added line 29 for comparison with line 28.
