I'm in general favor in helping compilers, but if you have to cheat.

ISTM That there is still at least one strange cast:
 +static const char **LWLockTrancheArray = NULL; +               LWLockTrancheArray = (const char **) // twice

Maybe some function should return a "const char **", or the const is not 
really justified?
