Gcc v 1.30 rejects the following pair as conflicting:
	extern int sprintf();
	extern int sprintf(char *, const char *, ...);
Without the "..." it's fine.  Sprintf in particular is
a favourite extern to appear in code.

% gcc -c x.c
x.c:2: conflicting types for `sprintf'
x.c:1: previous declaration of `sprintf'
