Build failure in libtest/cmdline.cc:790, gcc 4.3.3

[Bostjan Skufca Jese]

Hello,

Libmemcached version: 1.0.18
Env: x86_64, slackware 13.0, GCC 4.3.3, config.log attached

I've stumbled onto this build failure, here is the output:
------------------------------------------------------
# ./configure --without-memcached && make
...
  CXX libtest/libtest_libtest_la-cmdline.lo
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.3.3/../../../../include/c++/4.3.3/ext/new_allocator.h: In member function 'void __gnu_cxx::new_allocator<_Tp>::construct(_Tp*, _Args&& ...) [with _Args = long int, _Tp = char*]':

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.3.3/../../../../include/c++/4.3.3/ext/new_allocator.h:114: error: invalid conversion from 'long int' to 'char*'
make[1]: *** [libtest/libtest_libtest_la-cmdline.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/src/libs/libmemcached-1.0.18'
make: *** [all] Error 2
------------------------------------------------------

The line in question is this, in libtest/cmdline.cc
==================================================
void Application::create_argv(const char *args[])
{
  ...
  built_argv.push_back(NULL);
}
==================================================

Can anyone give a quick hint how to overcome this?

Thank you,
b.

I'm seeing this same error when attempting to build on SuSE Enterprise 11sp3 with gcc 4.3.4. The build log is available at the below link from the build service.

Also trying to build on SLES 11 SP3. Is there any follow up to this issue?

Bump, SLES 11 SP3, same problem.
