Thanks. I'm with you now.

I don't, so if no-one else does either then there's probably little point worrying about it. The best reference I could find (besides the C standards themselves, and in particular section 6.3.2.3 of the C99 standard) was an ancient and short discussion on comp.std.c (starting June 21, 1998, subject "Q: void pointers and function pointers") where some of the posters claimed to have encountered such platforms.
