hmm, when this came up for PPC I thought we all agreed that GCC void*  
arithmetic was legal and Linux code requires it

msg01517.html

Are we changing that?

Not really. But I'd say that char* arithmetic is a bit clearer, and if
someone wants to spend their time getting rid of void* arithmetic in
non-linux files then that's okay by me.
