I'm actually using 4.8. I didn't expect to have to fix these kind of 
errors as Qt on ARM/Linux is widely used.

I do understand what's the problem here, but I don't see where the cast 
should take place.

It all starts with this line in qdbusintegrator.cpp:
Q_GLOBAL_STATIC_WITH_ARGS(const QString, orgFreedesktopDBusString, 
(QLatin1String(DBUS_SERVICE_DBUS)))

Should I change this:
bool QBasicAtomicPointer_testAndSetOrdered(void * volatile *, void *, 
void *);

to this:
bool QBasicAtomicPointer_testAndSetOrdered(void * volatile * const, void 
*, void *);

I tried that one, but it complained because i'm using "-embedded openwrt".
