I may have slightly misspoke about the patch in bug 9301 causing the compile errors, but the patch in bug 9301 had the same compile errors on Windows as the generated dissectors. I originally committed the patch in r52734 before realizing the compiler errors which I corrected in r52735 (with a simple cast).
I don't have access to a Linux box, but I suspect if you used Linux to generate the patch in bug 9301, you won't see this issue either with the generated dissectors. It appears the generated dissectors need extra casting to compile on Windows and I didn't just want to make the fix in the Wireshark source.

for how it was fixed. Not sure if the PIDL compiler has to be changed for this
one.
Can you tell me what were the compile errors on linux, it's seems just
fine with just this patch on top of the recent svn trunk.
I just have warnings for dnsserver:
