SUSv2 says that sbrk is a void*, not a char *. I don't really know if
that means anything to anyone.  It also says that this function will be
prototyped  in <unistd.h>.    A quick check of system around here (none
of which claim to be SUSV2) shows that this does seem to be the case.
Regardless of what the vendor provides, if a proto for it is in unistd.h,
most of the plumbing is in place to let autoconf take advantage of this.
Of course, if __alpha (OpenVMS? DUNIX? Embedded?) doesn't proto it here,
this does no good.

Here's a starting place.   Of course, the real test is whether it helps
whatever system #if __alpha really refers to...

	* toplev.c (sbrk): get prototype from <unistd.h> when
	available.
