It seems to be just a warning, not an error.  There were warnings of some
kind (with gcc) in LYOptions.c earlier, before the assume_list change, so
I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Maybe the warning goes away by replacing 
FREE with free.

The assume_list is a (CONST char**) not a (CONST char*), so casting it to
(char*) is definitely wrong.

I haven't looked at TYPECAST so I don't know whether that's what it
expands to.
