Compile error with -D ALLOW_SLABS_REASSIGN

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. add "-D ALLOW_SLABS_REASSIGN" to CFLAGS
2. compile

with gcc-3.5 you will see warnings, but it does compile:
slabs.c: In function `do_slabs_reassign':
slabs.c:373: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated
slabs.c:403: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated

but with gcc-4 you will see a compile error:
slabs.c: In function 'do_slabs_reassign':
slabs.c:373: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
slabs.c:403: error: invalid lvalue in assignment

tried with 1.2.6 and 1.2.8. same error.

The existing slab reassignment code was unfinished and unsupported, so it will 
be
removed in 1.4.2. There will be new slab reassignment code in the next few 
releases.

Considering this "done" since an action was taken (confusing code removed).
