Maybe, but this is legal C. There are a lot of cases in the tree where
the prototypes are converted to ANSI C, but the definiton not yet. We
spend quite some effort cleaning this up, but it's not done.
You can try to isolate the problem by making a small program
rperodcuing the error and sending it to MetroWerks. Or maybe there's
some option to switch off this behaviour... Anyway, this is not an
OpenBSD topic.
