When compiling with recent gcc and glibc-2.43 the --Wdiscarded-qualifiers
warning occurs because with ISO C23, the function memchr that return
pointers into their input arrays now have definitions as macros that
return a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input argument is
a pointer to a const-qualified type.
