In the file AsciiSink.h in X11R4/mit/lib/Xaw, there is the following
section:

    #ifdef XAW_BC
    /************************************************************
     *  For Compatability Only.                                 */

    #define XtAsciiSinkCreate          XawAsciiSinkCreate
    #define XtAsciiSinkDestroy         XawAsciiSinkDestroy

    #define XawTextSink Widget
    #define XtTextSink XawTextSink

    extern XawTextSink XawAsciiSinkCreate(); /* parent, args, num_args */
        /* Widget parent;           */
        /* ArgList args;            */
        /* Cardinal num_args;       */

    #define XawAsciiSinkDestroy XtDestroyWidget

    #endif /* XAW_BC */

The problem is that there is no routine XawAsciiSinkCreate().  However,
there is a subroutine XwAsciiSinkCreate() which takes the same arguments
as the supposed "XawAsciiSinkCreate."  Hence, I suggest that the above
two lines be changed to read as follows:

    #define XtAsciiSinkCreate          XwAsciiSinkCreate

    extern XawTextSink XwAsciiSinkCreate(); /* parent, args, num_args */

Of course, this is only a problem with programs needing the backwardly
compatible Xt routines.  I ran into this while building xgdb, so I'm
certain it has been noticed before.  But just in case...
