Bug#492377: mksh: strcasestr implicitly converted to pointer
reassign 492377 mksh
thanks
The seriousness of this bug is actually caused by the fact that we
will be unable to do ia64 updates of mksh because the ia64 buildd will
reject them. This doesn't mean it needs to be fixed in mksh of course,
but mksh cannot release until it is fixed somehow, so the bug should
remain here.

I don't have any good solutions in mind, and I also don't like the
idea of you having to change somethinto workaround this filter. Maybe
the buildd maintainer (CC'd) could install a whitelist file or
something?
