I use the same change set. I think, In GCC 8.1, they have added 
strict function type casting check.

I see a lot failure in examples with GCC 8.1, Are you tested the examples directory?

OK.

The above patch does not help, GCC 8.1 simply don't like any from
function typecasting. see ^^^^^ in the quote below.
