Regression: ICE: no kind for cast

• flywheel-0.1.1 (before) (after)
• hematite-client-0.0.3 (before) (after)

I'm opening an issue to ensure that we're tracking these regressions and they're either expected (so we can close), this is a dupe (so we can close), or we can fix (and then close!)

Minimized:

mod foo {
    extern crate libc;
}

use foo::libc;

static mut BAR: *const libc::c_void = baz as *const libc::c_void;

fn baz() {}

fn main() {}

Backtrace:

error: internal compiler error: ../src/librustc_passes/consts.rs:483: no kind for cast
 --> regice.rs:7:39

7 | pub static BAR: *const libc::c_void = baz as *const libc::c_void;
  |                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#bug-reports

note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace

Introduced between nightly-2016-08-21 and nightly-2016-08-22 (Changes),

This was also caused by #35776, could be a duplicate of #36747, and thus may as well be fixed by #37023.

Edit: This is indeed fixed by #37023
