I suffered the same kind of problem under AIX 3.2.5.  My guess is that
gcc (which I'm not using) allows casts on the left hand side of an
assignment:

    char *s;
    int i;

    s = (char *)i;   /* normal */
    (int)s = i;      /* gcc? */

This is a pain to correct because you have to go and look up the type of
row2 (in your example above) and insert the appropriate cast on the
right hand side instead:

    list->data = (list_data_type_here)row2;

I stepped back to 1.0.5 since it was my first usage of GTK I didn't need
the latest and greatest, just something.

Hope this is of some help.
