bug#23758: 25.1.50; Bogus warning from -Wwrite-strings

I'm getting an "assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer
target type" warning in the Cygwin-w32 build because of the following
code in w32fns.c:

char *type_CtrlAlt = NULL;
[...]
type_CtrlAlt = "bB";

This warning goes away if I remove -Wwrite-strings from the enabled compiler warnings. Is this a compiler bug, or is there really something wrong with the code above that should warrant a warning?
