LYNX-DEV Compile problem for 2.7 under SunOS 4.1.2

[Ned Forrester]

I just comiled the new Lynx 2.7 under SunOS 4.1.2 using the 
/usr/5bin/cc compiler.  I encountered the following error during
make:

        /usr/5bin/cc -O -DUNIX -DSUN    -DSUN4 -DFANCY_CURSES -DLOCALE
        -I../WWW/Library/Implementation -I/usr/5include
        -DDIRED_SUPPORT  -DOK_TAR -DOK_ZIP -DOK_GZIP -DOK_UUDECODE
        -DOK_OVERRIDE -DOK_PERMIT -I..   -target sun4 -c  HTML.c
        "HTML.c", line 2118: illegal types in :
        *** Error code 1
        make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `HTML.o'
        Current working directory /home1/kilowatt/local/lib/lynx2-7/src
        *** Error code 1
        make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `sun4'

Examination of line 2118 in HTML.c and comparison against the
corresponding line in the version 2.6 HTML.c showed the following
change:

2.7:
   (HTLinkType*)HTAtom_for(value[HTML_A_TYPE]) : (void *)0);   /* Type */

2.6:
   (HTLinkType*)HTAtom_for(value[HTML_A_TYPE]) : 0);    /* Type */


Upon removing the (void *) type cast, the compile completed normally.
This type cast appears to be legal, so I don't know why it caused a
problem.  I don't need an explanation, but thought you would like to
know about this behavior.
