I understand that prototype definitions are incompatible with K&R; the
configure script already had a test that uses same for a void function
(main(void) in the fseeko check), so it wasn't clear that this compatibility
was desired.

Nevertheless, I do prefer that the script fail fast in the manner you
describe rather than yield erroneous conclusions about the system. Thanks
for addressing this.
