Speaking of casts, I _have_ let some inadvertent regressions in.  Fixed as 
follows (thankfully, xalloc.h has magic such that xcharalloc and xrealloc don't 
need casts).

Subject: [PATCH] Consistently cast malloc results, for C++ compilation.

* src/builtin.c (compile_pattern): Add cast.
* src/macro.c (expand_macro): Likewise.
* src/output.c (m4_tmpname): Likewise.
* src/stackovf.c (setup_stackovf_trap): Use correct type.
