void * not handled in AIX C compiler ?

[Johann Schweigl]

AIX C allows the use of void functions, and the (void *) typecast.
Declaring a variable as void * does not work. The effect is the same
as if the variable had never been defined. Example:

main() {
	void *foo;
	int bar;

	foo = &bar;
}

results in:

"foo.c", line 6: foo undefined
"foo.c", line 6: warning: illegal combination of pointer and integer, op =

which is not quite correct.
Especially I see no sense behind supporting void * in a typecast but not
in a declaration. 
Am I wrong?
Any comments?
