openssh unix dev - Jul 2000 - OpenSSH 2.1.1p2 - compiling on AIX

When compiling OpenSSH 2.1.1p2 on AIX 4.3.2 using the IBM compiler
(ibmcxx 3.6.4) in Ansi-C mode by using the xlc binary instead of cc
the compilation fails due to the fact that the OpenSSH code mixes k&r
style functions with ANSI prototypes: 

"bsd-rresvport.c", line 56.1: 1506-343 (S) Redeclaration of
rresvport_af differs from previous declaration on line 7 of
"bsd-rresvport.h".
"bsd-rresvport.c", line 56.1: 1506-379 (I) Prototype for function
rresvport_af must contain only promoted types if prototype and nonprototype
declarations are mixed.
"bsd-rresvport.c", line 56.1: 1506-380 (I) Parameter 2 has type
"unsigned char" which promotes to "int".

One way to fix this is to rewrite all functions to ANSI style, which I
guess is not an option.

Another way to "fix" it is to tell xlc to behave more like cc by
setting the compiler flag -qlanglvl=extended, which I feel should be
done by configure when it detects AIX using the xlc compiler.

 I never did it that way before.

Thanks, I have matched the function declarations with the prototypes.
