Another hp9000s800-related matter.

First of all, thanks be to RMS for splitting out the different
unexec() versions into separate files!  This makes life much easier.
In fact, I'm using a different version of unexec() from the one
distributed with 18.51 as unexhp9k800.c.  Mine doesn't drop a core
file and also allows the use of the symbolic debugger on Emacs.  After
I've used it for a couple of weeks and it proves stable, I'll try to
get permission from its author to give it to GNU.  It's been fine for
a week now.  (The 18.51 version worked for about 10 minutes before
giving up the ghost.)

Anyway, the src/unexhp9ks800.c file distributed with 18.51 has a typo
in two places that prevent it from compiling.  Two declarations of
"FILE" in column 1 have an "@" in front of them, which is evidently a
holdover from someone's shar program.  (It's common for shars to pad
`F' in column 1 since uucp mailers tend to want to put `>' characters
in front of them.)

Somehow the "@" didn't get stripped out like they should have.
Remove them by hand from lines 194 and 288, or apply this patch:

194c194
< @FILE *new, *a_out;
---
> FILE *new, *a_out;
288c288
< @FILE *new;
---
> FILE *new;
