Having set up the software to use the fast stdio routines, I get the following
error when it attempts to compile them:

/bin/cc '-DPTR_TYPE=unsigned char *' -O -s -c rdwr.c
ccom: Error: rdwr.c, line 20: redeclaration of fread
      int
      fread(ptr, size, count, fp)
      char *ptr;
      ---^
ccom: Error: rdwr.c, line 70: redeclaration of fwrite
      int
      fwrite(ptr, size, count, fp)
      char *ptr;
      ---^
*** Error code 1

Stop.
+ exit 1

Is there any way I can coax the C compiler to accept these new
versions of stdio routines?  Considering the speedup they provide,
I would like to use them if at all possible.
