I can't reproduce this behaviour here:

    pcpole65:~ 0 15> gcc -v
    Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/ia64-unknown-linux/2.9-ia64-000216-final/specs
    gcc version 2.9-ia64-000216-final
    pcpole65:~ 0 16> cat test.c
    int main()
    {
	void *p = (void *)123;
	return 0;
    }
    pcpole65:~ 0 17> gcc test.c
    pcpole65:~ 0 18> 

But if it happens with your toolchain, the logical fix would be to cast 
the integer to long before casting it to void *.  Or, if it's a plain
integer constant, just use the 'L' suffix.  This shouldn't cause any
problems on 32-bit platforms, where int's and long's have the same size.
