While compiling binutils-2.17, i get the error "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules"

[Mayank Kumar]

if (! (bfd_coff_link_add_one_symbol
       (info, dynobj,
        &LOADER_SYM[bfd_get_symbol_leading_char(dynobj)=='_'?0:1],
        BSF_GLOBAL, s,
        (bfd_vma) 0, (const char *) NULL,
        FALSE, FALSE,
        (struct bfd_link_hash_entry **) &h)))------------------------>The error points to this line in all places.


The problem is that variable h is of type struct coff_link_hash_entry *, whereas the function pointer expects a variable of type struct bfd_link_hash_entry *.

Does anybody know how to fix the above error.

Thanks
Mayank
