As there was no reaction I created a patch, question is if this patch can be generally applied or if this version of patch should be specific for arm targets. I guess it should be universal because it matches the other definitions that also use pChar in the same file.

Hi Michael,

Just fixed this a slightly different way. Sorry for the delay.

Thank you Jeppe,

I did not want to look impatient, was just wondering if this problem somehow did not catch attention... ;-)

It's usually best to report things like that on the bugtracker.
