Complation error on Fedora release 39 (Thirty Nine) with clang 17.0.6

[rrambaldi]

Compilation fails with message:

while building BitNet on linux with clang17 I have following error:

      |                                      ^
/root/bitnet/BitNet/src/ggml-bitnet-mad.cpp:811:18: error: cannot initialize a variable of type 'int8_t *' (aka 'signed char *') with an rvalue of type 'const int8_t *' (aka 'const signed char *')

      |                  ^       ~~~~~~~~~~~~`

possible solution:
