GCC 3.2 is broken by design. It insists, amongst other stupidities, on
type-checking arguments using old style declarations like:
int foo(bar)
char *bar;
{}
rendering most UNIX software from before 1996 uncompilable. This is
biting one of my ports, I can't figure out how to shut the fscking thing
up, and am pretty much beyond caring. The Powers That Be in GCC-land
seem to have decided for us the world doesn't need any stinking
20-year-old software.
