I asked this about several months back. Can someone please fix the
declarations of brk() and sbrk() in unistd.h - it'll affect < 20 sources.
Currently declared as
  char    *brk __P((const char *));
  char    *sbrk __P((int));

brk is plainly wrong since it returns an int (of 0 or -1 for every system).
A replacement could be
  int     brk __P((const caddr_t));
  caddr_t sbrk __P((int));
or my preference
  int     brk __P((void *));
  void   *sbrk __P((int));

Thanks.
