Comment (by mkarcher):

 It seems gcc introduces a temporary double variable in the double/int
 mismatch on amd64, because the double-to-int conversion is a semantic
 conversion changing the representation. On the other hand, the void*-to-
 int conversion is reinterpreting the same value as a different type
 without the need of a conversion instruction (like cvttsd2si in the amd64
 case).
