That check is only useful for pure C projects.  If the intention is that
libtool can be compiled under both C and C++, then C++ requires that you
cast the result of allocation functions (only C lets you get away with
going from void* to any other pointer without cast).  Are we sure that
no one tries to compile libtool with a C++ compiler?
