I wanted to move one of my SPARCs from 1.4 to -current (specifically,
the sup of 08-13).  So I looked at the "a.out to ELF" faq and started
in.  But I'd barely started when I got trouble.  When trying to build
the first -current kernel,

cc -g -O2 -Werror -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes  -Wpointer-arith -Wno-main -I. -I../../../../arch -I../../../.. -nostdinc -DSUN4 -DSUN4C -DSUN4M -DRASTERCONSOLE -DRASTERCONS_WONB -DRASTERCONS_FULLSCREEN -DLKM -DDIAGNOSTIC -DDEBUG -DSCSIDEBUG -DCOMPAT_14 -DNS -DMAXUSERS=32 -D_KERNEL  -c param.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
In file included from param.c:48:
../../../../sys/systm.h:196: warning: conflicting types for built-in function `memcmp'
../../../../sys/systm.h:197: warning: conflicting types for built-in function `memcpy'
../../../../sys/systm.h:199: warning: conflicting types for built-in function `memset'
*** Error code 1

Stop.

This appears to be because sys/arch/sparc/include/ansi.h in the old
tree defines _BSD_SIZE_T_ as unsigned int, whereas the new one defines
it as unsigned long.  This ends up getting used for size_t, which
breaks the prototypes in systm.h.

For the time being, I'm going to add a private patch to change this
back, since on my SPARCs, unsigned int and unsigned long are the same.
But I'd be interested to know what the right fix is....
