Re: many -Wincompatible-pointer-types on clang with gdb-7.9

[Jack Howarth <howarth.mailing.lists@gmail.com>]

The proposed patch doesn't eliminate the warnings...

./guile/scm-arch.c:498:40: warning: incompatible pointer types
initializing 'scm_t_subr' (aka 'void (*)()') with an expression of
type 'SCM (SCM)'
      [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
  { "arch?", 1, 0, 0, as_a_scm_t_subr (gdbscm_arch_p),
                                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
./guile/guile-internal.h:93:31: note: expanded from macro 'as_a_scm_t_subr'
#define as_a_scm_t_subr(func) func
                              ^
