I need to do some googling on static_cast v/s reinterpret_cast, but
probably your patch is fine.

xorp.ct should be able to cross-compile to PPC, so if you try it and
it doesn't work, please let me know.

I'll try to get the patch applied shortly..got a few more things to
get out of the way before I can start hacking on xorp again, however.

Thanks,
Ben
