I used gcc 3.3.3
the standard on netbsd 3.1 (?, installed the OS a few days ago)


I downloaded it (from MAIN as said) from the CVS, only the src/usr.bin/ftp
I went to that directory and wrote make :)
It tells me this:
#   compile  ftp/progressbar.o
cc -O2   -Werror   -DINET6    -c    progressbar.c
progressbar.c:96: warning: duplicate `const'
*** Error code 1

It compiles nicely with the asterix crhistos suggested above.
