Are you compiling with g++ or gcc. g++ (being a c++ compilier) is a lot more
picky about what types of casts it'll let you get away with. Most likely this
warning is being caused by casting a const pointer into a non-const one. Stock
ROM does this in quite a few places, and it's not concidered to be very good
practice. Changing the casts to be (const char *) should do the trick for the
char *'s. And you should be able to adjust the other casts similiarly

I'm not familiar with this bit system, so I can't be much help there.
