void * not handled in AIX C compiler ?

I'd say that you're right. The AOS 4.3 RT hc compilers all compiled the 
code without problem (except for warnings about not using variable foo).
Pcc on the other hand gave exactly the same complaints as the AIX compiler.

	foo = (void *) &bar;

If the AIX compiler claims to be ANSI (I'm not sure if it does), then
I'd suggest that you do report it as a bug and see if you can get it fixed.
