Because our egcs compiler is set to require more strict prototyping of
functions like strcpy() and memset(), which take arguments that can be
wrongly sized on, say, LP64 platforms if not prototyped ahead of time.

This code was written long before gcc2.8, and is compiled primarily on i386
(Lunix) boxes.

Put UPDATE=1 in /etc/mk.conf.  ;)
