Then this is the problem.

To solve this, you could add a prototype *before* the first use. How is
the compiler supposed to know what a function "looks like" if it has not
seen it yet?

Answer: It makes an educated guess, only to find that it has been wrong
later on, when it sees the actual function and correctly emits a warning
then.

No. The current version is GCC 2.95.2. Please have a look at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ for details, but I recommend to upgrade.

In addition you are not using egcs/GCC but PentiumGCC which is based
on egcs/GCC.
