This was detected when compiling a code that includes these
headers with g++ compiler. The headers should be able to compile
by g++ (they have 'extern "C"').

Well let's apply the patch since we have 'extern "C"'.

But this raises another question. All affected header files are OpenSM
internals and OpenSM is written in C (not C++). So why 'extern "C"'
should be here at all? Do you know?

But the problem is not only
with g++ - it is with typing in general. I may be wrong, but I
feel that every new gcc version is more strongly typed.

AFAIR (anytype *) to (void *) casting is not needed (doing implicitly)
in C and this is already part of some basic standards.

True, but the problem is not (anytype *) to (void *) casting.
It's the other way around: (void *) to (anytype *) casting.
