A quote from the INSTALL file for gcc 2.3.1:

   [Step] 13. Correct errors in the header files on your machine.

       Various system header files often contain constructs which are
       erroneous, incompatible with ANSI C or otherwise unsuitable, and
       they will not work when you compile programs with GNU CC.

             [. . .]

       It is not the purpose of `install-fixincludes' to add prototypes to
       the system header files.  We support headers with ANSI C
       prototypes in the GNU C Library, and we have no time to support
       adding them to other systems' header files.

What does this last paragraph mean?  "We support"?  I want ANSI header
files and I don't want to write them all myself from scratch.  If GNU
supports these things, then where can I get them?  I haven't been able
to find them on the usual sites.  And, once I find them, where do I
put them?  In /usr/local/lib/gcc-include?  In /usr/local/include?  This
hasn't caused me any problems (besides having to explain to my classes
that "it's just that way for now," which I hate), but I'd sure like
to be completely ANSI-fied.  After all, that's why I started with gcc
in the first place.
