Compilation error with GCC 4.8.4 nvcc 7.0.27

When I attempt to build cub on Ubuntu 14.04 with gcc 4.8.4 and nvcc 7.0.27, I get this error:

thread_load.cuh(423): error: reinterpret_cast cannot cast away const or other type qualifiers
          detected during:
            instantiation of "T cub::ThreadLoad(T *, cub::Int2Type<MODIFIER>, cub::Int2Type<1>) [with T=const pyramid::weight_type, MODIFIER=3]"
(442): here
            instantiation of "std::iterator_traits<InputIteratorT>::value_type cub::ThreadLoad<MODIFIER,InputIteratorT>(InputIteratorT) [with MODIFIER=cub::LOAD_CS, InputIteratorT=const pyramid::weight_type *]"
kernels.cu(56): here

It looks like this is related.
