     Cast "const char *" pointers to "char *" to avoid compiler warnings.
2018-10-01 Christophe Lyon<christophe.lyon@linaro.org> * newlib/libc/ctype/ctype_.c (__set_ctype): Cast "_ctype_" to "char *". 
     	* newlib/libc/locale/locale.c (__loadlocale): Cast "new_locale" to
     	"char *".
There is a __DECONST() macro in <sys/cdefs.h>. I think this better documents the purpose of these casts. It silences also -Wcast-qual warnings.
