Summary:
undeclared variables (within functions) cause spurious shadow
warnings for argument declarations in in gcc versions 1.36 &
1.37.1 on Sun4 (and Sun3).
The spurious warning is output twice! Once at "top level"
and once in the new function.
Wishes:
-WALL turned on ALL warnings and that -w<name> could be used to
subtract from the warning set. i.e. gcc -WALL -wcomment
