Hello,

I'am far from happy of the status of C header files on SunOS 4.1.x. I know it is not 
GCC maintainer responsability but they are quite ugly, far from ansi C and POSIX
confirmant. I would like to ansify a quite big software (an X.400 X11 based UA, 
several hundred Klines). Protoize is quite helpfull while not suited to the handling of a
 software disributed in a set of directory. 

The problem is that with the -g option (create definition for implicitly called 
external functions) a lot of specifier for standard library function are created
even is the correct include files are specified. Unfortunately, the compilation choke 
on some of these extra declarations.

I came to my question: Does someone achieve to obtain a correct (POSIX and ANSI compliant )
set of files for gcc ? I tried fixinclude but it can't generate some of the information that should 
in standard include files. The Sun's unbundled C headers are also often violating
the standards.  Until this, we will have to stay with old C.

By the way GCC is a fabulous compiler.
