Previous test used gcc.

with cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C 5.3 2001/05/15, I get these warnings

cc -O -DHAVE_UNISTD_H -DUSE_MMAP  -c  inflate.c

        argument : pointer to char

Changing the definition of hbuf this silences all warnings.

#ifdef GUNZIP
    Bytef hbuf[4];		/* buffer for gzip header crc calculation */
#endif

cheers
