Just removing the ### should work - I did it yesterday and
libFoundation-090 compiled fine with 3.3.

This is definitely a bug in the compiler - I think the C cast code has
been modified in the compiler without taking into account ObjC.  I can see
that the compiler is not doing the cast; at a quick glance at the code, I
think it's probably trying to optimize away unneeded casts, and because
'id' and 'id<NGStream>' look the same to C (they are just the same
pointer, if you forget about the protocol attached to the second one), the
cast is optimized away.

I'll try to have it fixed before GCC 3.3 is out.
