   If you get frequent warnings about built-in functions in GCC 2.3,
   chances are some bug is responsible.  The only way anyone can find out
   is if you send a precise bug report.  So please do that.  Papering
   over the problem with an option will avoid getting to the bottom of
   things.

I don't consider this to be a bug. The warnings are due to our
definition of several functions which conflict with the builtin types.
We have a function 'sin' for example which accept input from a tty
stream. We get a warning in almost every file because sin is implicitly
declared as a builtin. The warnings don't do any harm, they are just
annoying.

We are not running a Unix-like OS. We are using GCC in our real time OS
which we embed in our router. This means we do not have the same calling
interface that one would normally find, so we tend to get more than an
average number of warnings for builtin declarations.

best regards,
-Jim.
