ISO C does require a cast.  The cast is necessary to avoid a constraint
violation and a mandatory diagnostic.  The resulting behavior is
undefined in ISO C, but defined by POSIX.

Assigning a void* value to a pointer-to-function object without a cast
violates the constraint for simple assignment (N1570 6.5.16.1p1).
