The argument seems to be that they don't want to specify the arguments as that
function pointer is used as a generic function pointer which can call
functions using different signatures. Similar to how a plain void * would be
used for generic data.

Personally I think they solve that problem the wrong way, but that doesn't
help us. I figure we'll need to live with it. The NSS project clearly doesn't
think compiler warnings are as important to fix as we do.
