Those lines all contain simple memset() calls. There's no void *
arithmetic done in them at least directly. I'd say Trustix has made
memset() a macro that does some extra checks, and they've messed it up a
bit by using void* arithmetic. Maybe doesn't show with other software
because most software don't bother enabling enough compiler warnings.

Anyway, you can safely ignore them.
