I have the distinct feeling you either failed to run the
"Configure" script, or did not start with a "virgin" copy of
ELM 2.3PL11 sources.

NeXT's C compiler doesn't "require" ANSI C, and you are basically
asking for trouble if you try to shoehorn _any_ "portable" UNIX
source code into the braindead "ANSI" mode.  Give cc the -bsd
option and it will act much more rationally.  Really.

Please see  sonata.cc.purdue.edu:~ftp/pub/next/patches/elm2.3pl11
for NeXT-specific information and code fixes applicable to all
platforms.
