Hello,

The support folks here at PictureTel have installed gcc 2.4.5 on our
network.  Until now we have been using version 1.40 officially, and a
couple of us dabbled with 2.2.2 but never released it.

The problem stems from the fact that <stdio.h> does not have prototypes
for printf(), fopen(), fread() or fwrite(), for example, but it does
have a prototype for fclose().  Also, the prototypes are not in the
ANSI format, in that they have no arguments between the open and close
parens.

When I presented this problem to our support people, their reply was a
quote from the gcc-2.4.5/NEWS file, under "Noteworthy GCC changes in
version 2.4":

	* Building GCC now automatically fixes the system's header files.
	This should require no attention.

Sad to say, but on our system this *definitely* requires attention.

Since functions like printf() are commonly used, it is disconcerting to
get an "unknown type, using (int) as default" warning in each file,
despite the fact that the first line reads "#include <stdio.h>".  Is
there some step of the installation that would result in such a
radically abridged file?
