Gak!  Even adding "-std=3Dc89" or "-ansi" and/or "-Wno-all" doesn't help
any.

And of course "-traditional" isn't a truly valid option any more.

Sigh.  That's incredibly, extremely, sadly, very funny.  GCC is
apparently not even backwards compatible with its own overall code base.

I always hated those forms of incomplete declarations myself, but I
never expected to find them causing trouble between GCC versions.

A post on a GCC list suggests this should only be a diagnostic warning
for C99 and it's not even a constraint in C90.  Other posts elsewhere
suggest work-arounds of going back to GCC3.  Double-sigh.

BTW, apparently this is "Bug gas/793" at bug-binutils@gnu.org and a
suggested fix is here:

    http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.43/patches/binutils-2.15/binutil=
s-2.15-allow-gcc-4.0.patch

I'll try that.
