certain prototype definitions appear not to be accepted.

why does it complain about yyy, but not xxx?  seems that there is a
curious bug in the prototyping code.

------
char * yyy();
extern char * yyy(char *, char);

char * xxx();
extern char * xxx(int,int);
-----

Until it is fixed, I can't make use of the prototype checking, because
the standard includes don't have the prototype info.  (yyy is the same
as index).
