Trevor,
That piece of code seems to come from some GTK example iirc, and
certainly will benefit from some intelligent reworking. It relies on
the idiomatic equivalence of `target_list[]` and `*tatget_list`, which
gcc-6 apparently takes issue with.
It's difficult to tackle it practically because gcc-6 has not yet been
released. But I'll see what I can do.
Cheers,
Andrei
