Problem building Insight

[Fedin Pavel]

 Hello!

 I have an error building fresh Insight from the CVS:
--- cut ---

 The simplest way to fix this was to add an explicit cast of this argument
to the required type.

 Kind regards.

 And one more such problem:

 Fixed by changing type of 'raw_buffer' from char to gdb_byte.

 Kind regards.

Yup. I have patches for two build errors those coming.
Problem is there is another upstream bug in gdb that prevents insight 
from running.

I should have this all sorted out later today.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, though. I've been so busy, 
I could easily have not noticed for weeks!
