RE: Compiling PATCH 2.0 under 386/ix (SYSV) Unix:

I have downloaded patch version 2.0 and am trying to get it running on
a 386/ix 2.0.1 UNIX machine.  Most stuff compiles OK.  But patch 
doesn't, I get the following errors:

	cc -c -O  patch.c
"./common.h", line 154: redeclaration of sprintf  (OK, no problem here)
"patch.c", line 291: warning: illegal pointer/integer combination, op =
*** Error code 1

Stop.
 
 Here's the offending segment:

#ifndef FLEXFILENAMES
		{
		    char *s = rindex(rejname,'/');  /* <<- line 291 <<-***/

		    if (!s)
			s = rejname;
		    if (strlen(s) > 13)
			if (s[12] == '.')	/* try to preserve difference */
			    s[12] = s[13];	/* between .h, .c, .y, etc. */
			s[13] = '\0';
		}
#endif

(Note that "rindex" becomes "strrchr" (and "index" "strchr") due to
#defines in config.h)

The Configure program seemed to run OK and the config.h looks OK to me.
I admit I'm not a seasoned C expert, but I hack around a bit.  Anyone
got any ideas?  I'm sure it's something very simple.  Thanks in advance
for your help (how can one live without patch?)!
