elf-fdpic.h or elf-dsbt.h is included by link.h. When C++ program includes <link.h>, we get following build failure. ../usr/include/bits/elf-fdpic.h: In function 'void* __reloc_pointer(void*, const elf32_fdpic_loadmap*)': ../usr/include/bits/elf-fdpic.h:95: error: invalid use of 'void' void pointer addition and subtraction is not allowed in C++ as it has undetermined size, however in C with language extension it is possible because sizeof void is treated as one byte. Instead of performing subtraction on void pointers, typecast it to char* first. This build failure is detected by Buildroot autobuilder. http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/a10/a10ed48e6eb8411a3d8372f57c05fd111...
