Thanks for sending this message to gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org.  A message of
this sort should not be sent to gcc@gcc.gnu.org.  Please keep similar
messages to gcc-help in the future.  Thanks.

gcc 2.5.8 is very very old.  The current release is 4.4.1, and 4.4.2
is about to go out the door.  Is there any reason that you want to use
such an old release?

I don't have a copy of that ancient release, but the fix should be
pretty obvious for anybody who knows C: look at the lines in cccp.c,
and make the functions match the declarations.
