If DEC is shipping Motif 1.1, they'll be shipping X11R4 Intrinsics.  There
Is No Alternative.

But you omitted the "cc" command :-)

(etc...)

At 1.1.1, we (finally) implemented full ANSI prototyping.  Although the
Ultrix MIPS cc does prototyping, it doesn't quite match the ANSI
requirements.

If you add "-D_NO_PROTO" to your cc line, you'll be able to get over this
hurdle.  You might like to hack it into your imake templates, or even (I
don't recommend this) your local Xm.h.

I believe a Sun cc has the identical problem.
