fixinc: svr4_ftw and _STYPES: huh?

[Nathanael Nerode]

This hack (present also in fixinc.svr4) has a clear motivation listed: 
to avoid a definition of something as 'extern' and then as 'static'.  

But the fix itself contains a very unclear element: the curious use of 
'_STYPES'.  Do you (or anyone) have any idea at all why it is checking 
whether _STYPES is defined?

I'm thinking of making this another one of the 'enabled only for svr4, 
because I can't figure out what it's supposed to be doing' hacks.
(DYNIX/ptx, the only svr4 system anyone's volunteered to test for 
me, apparently doesn't have the problem declarations.)
