I have run into this as well.  It can be fixed by waiting for MANX to
fix their prototyping problems in 5.0b.  The bugs are due to the use
of both K&R style function declarations and prototypes.  This was a
new bug introduced in 5.0b.  

I really thought it was going to work especially when all the warnings
went away with the new includes.  I have been trying to find out when
the bugs will be fixed so that I can send Mike some patches (I did most
of the work getting MG3a to compile with both MANX compilers) or just
some new instructions.  If it isn't going to be fixed within a month
or so I suppose I will track down all the bugs (YEEECCCCHHHHH!) and
distribute some patches.
