The issue is due to ISO C23 declaration of bsearch, memchr, strchr,
strpbrk, strrchr, strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr,
which now returns a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input
argument is a pointer to a const-qualified type: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=NEWS;h=e271fb2e4d76903c77a302aaec1ca22ce31027d0;hb=f762ccf84f122d1354f103a151cba8bde797d521#l19
