Description Jonathan Kamens 1999-11-23 00:24:04 UTC 
When I compile an application which includes <bits/string2.h> with
"-pedantic", I see this warning:

/usr/include/bits/string2.h:611: warning: pointer targets in return differ
in signedness

This patch to string2.h fixes the problem:

Fixed in the rawhide version of glibc.
