I am having trouble compiling following program
----------------
extern "C" {
#include <rpc/types.h>  
}
#include <String.h>
main()
{
 printf("done\n");
}
----------------
I get the msg:
make -k
	g++ -c   -I/usr/local/gnu/lib/g++-1.35.1.lib/g++-include  l.cc
/usr/local/gnu/lib/g++-1.35.1.lib/g++-include/std.h:119: conflicting types for `void *malloc (unsigned int)'
*** Error code 1
---------------

The problem is that  <rpc/types.h> has
       extern char* malloc(); => extern char* malloc(...)
This declaration conflicts with the
      void *malloc(unsigned int);

Is there a way to tell the compiler that both declarations refers to the
same malloc function ?
How is overload resolution done in g++ ?  I would appreciate any information
in this regard.

Thanks,
