This is a bug in the X11 header files that DEC distributes with Ultrix.

When compiled by an ANSI C compiler (i.e. when __STDC__ is defined), the
header files define prototypes.  However, the prototypes include references
to undefined types, and thus you get syntax errors.  You can not fix this
problem by changing the order of include files; there are circular dependencies
among the include files.  Specifically, Xlib.h depends on Xutil.h, and Xutil.h
depends on Xlib.h.

As a result, under Ultrix, you can not compile a program that include X11
header files by ANSI C compiler unless you do something to work around
this problem.

One solution is to compile with -traditional.  Another solution is to
compile with -DNeedFunctionPrototypes=0.
