EXCUSE ME, but I didn't screw up, I just dont use all the vars thats
declared for a system wide std, for char devices, its just that some
of those vars isn't used here, but they should still be declared
to conform to the char device calling convention.
I guess we'll have to go fix hordes of files with another gcc'ism
__unused, *SIGH*, as if we had nothing to do...
If the GNU folks ever did go to a scheme where we would have to
*pay* to use it, or other more nasty ideas for that matter, we
are now so wrapped in, its almost impossible to switch compiler.
(I've tried, its NOT fun)
