I am having a lot of problems compiling the lib files in the 1.4a postings.
Some of these files are closedir.c bcmp.c bcopy.c index.c rindex.c.....
Most of these files have lines such as:

bcopy(src, dst, length)
CONST char *src;
char *dst;
int length;
{
   	extern VOIDSTAR memcpy();

	(void) memcpy((VOIDSTAR)dst, (CONST VOIDSTAR)src, (SIZET)length);
}

ERRORS INCLUDE:
	non-empty formal parameter pack
	illegal initalization of function
        (warning) old fasioned initalization, insert =
       	CONST undefined
	CRASH check-ival

This is a very typical error for about 23 files that will not compile.
Since there are no include files, what is wrong with these files?
ANY suggestions?
