What do you build that assertion on?

Have a look at the program below.  With "const", the
second "foo" call causes gcc to complain over types.

Also, code assigning the address of any of the affected
functions to variables will become invalid.

static void
foo (const char **x, int n)
{
  const char *y = x[0];
  (void)y;
}



int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  const char *x1;
  foo (&x1, 1);

  char *x2;
  foo (&x2, 1);

  return 0;
}
