This commit resolves a build error in the z80 assembler (tc-z80.c) that occurs with newer versions of GCC and glibc. The issue stems from bsearch() and other functions propagating const-correctness, which conflicted with a non-const pointer used in the assembler’s internal tables. Adding the const qualifier to the pointer fixes the build without affecting functionality, as the pointer is never written to.
