The type cast is not needed here, because read accepts any pointer
type for the buffer argument.

While looking at that code, I noticed more potential issues:

* The open statement needs O_RDWR | O_BINARY, otherwise the code won't
work on Windows.

* The len argument can obviously be 2 or 4. Will endianness handling
work for both cases?
