Resending patch v2 with a modified subject, to see if patchwork picks
it up.

    Suppress -Wcast-qual warnings in bsearch
    
    The first cast to (void *) is redundant but should be (const void *)
    anyway, because that's the type of the lvalue being assigned to.
    
    The second cast is necessary and intentionally not const-correct, so
    tell the compiler not to warn about it.
