Ark Linux Dockyard (Linux 2.4.20, glibc 2.3.2)
>Description:
The following simple code:

int test(void **tmp) { }

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        char *a="Test";
        test(&(void*)a);
}

gives:

test.c: In function `main':
test.c:6: error: invalid lvalue in unary `&'

This slightly longer, but equivalent variant works:
int test(void **tmp) { }

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        char *a="Test";
        void *b=(void*)a;
        test(&b);
}

Problem occurs with both the C and C++ front ends.
