make: *** [array.o] Error 1
The compiler on irix-4.0.5 understands and uses prototypes in
its headers, but does not define __STDC__. Since gawk's source code
prototypes various systems calls and libc functions, without function
arguments since __STDC__ is not defined, you get these problems.
I was able to get around it by setting CFLAGS to "-D__STDC__=1".
Then gawk's source code prototyped functions with arguments, and the above
errors did not occur. I wonder why gawk is prototyping system functions.
Anyway, after using the CFLAGS hack (only necessary on irix-4.0.5)
all systems built and passed "make check".
