Greetings,
    I'm in the process of trying to bring up CNEWS (patched to
24-Mar-1991) on an rs/6000 model 320, running AIX version 3003.
I had pretty good sucess by telling CNEWS to compile with bsdcc
and to use the standard stdio rather than the enhanced stdio.
My main problem is in libc/datetok.c.  At first, I got errors
saying that the variables were being redefined illegally.  That
seemed to be related to variables being defined as external in one
spot and as static in another (Thanks, Henry for the fix).
However,  I'm still having a problem.  Here's a script of what 
happens.


Script started on Sat Mar 30 19:14:20 1991

# make
        bsd cc -O  -I../include -c datetok.c
       16 | static datetkn datetktbl[];
    1506-131: (S) Explicit extent specification or initializer required for an auto  or static array.
      107 | static datetkn datetktbl[] = {
            ...............a..............
a - 1506-030: (S) Illegal redeclaration of identifier.
1254-004  The error code from the last failed command is 1.
 
Make Quitting.

Has anyone come across this problem, and have a fix to this?
Everything else, so far, seems to compile ok.  Any help will be
greatly appreciated.
