Therefore I would suggest to change the type of the 'data' field to 'char *'

Rationale: 'scratch_buffer' is a module of its own right in gnulib, and
may get more uses, in order to avoid stack overflows.
I think I'd rather leave it alone. glibc is moving to a more-general
module that addresses this problem in a better way, and I'd rather we
spend our limited resources doing that than forking.
