GCC 3.2 is broken by design.  It insists, amongst other stupidities, on 
type-checking arguments using old style declarations like:

	int foo(bar)
	char *bar;
	{}

rendering most UNIX software from before 1996 uncompilable.  This is 
biting one of my ports, I can't figure out how to shut the fscking thing 
up, and am pretty much beyond caring.  The Powers That Be in GCC-land 
seem to have decided for us the world doesn't need any stinking 
20-year-old software.
