When building the GNU m4-1.0 distribution, the obstack.c compile died with
the error

obstack.c:26: conflicting types for `abort'
<built-in>:0: previous declaration of `abort'

Now, according to c-decl.c, 

...
  else if (TREE_CODE (olddecl) == FUNCTION_DECL
	   && DECL_BUILT_IN (olddecl))
    {
      if (!TREE_PUBLIC (newdecl))
	{
	...
	}
      else if (!types_match)
	warning_with_decl (newdecl, "conflicting types for built-in function `%s'");
    }
...

So it seems to me this should be a warning, not an error.  So I stepped
through here with gdb, and found that although olddecl->decl->filename was
set to "<built-in>", olddecl->decl->bit_field_flag was 0, indicating that
the function was not built in...

Here is an input file which reproduces the bug:

-----
int abort();

main()
{
}
