Those are legit - I fixed the first one myself. On the other hand,
I've _never_ gotten a release from Lattice where I didn't have to
twiddle the include files, though I've gotten releases where I only
had to twiddle those that should have come from CBM.

There are some other problems with -rr. Onbreak() was apparently
compiled without -rr in lcsr.lib, so that it looks for _CXBRK instead
of @CXBRK. And one of the utility functions in proto/intuition.h is
missing completely from the library.

The solution in both cases was to change the proto files so those are
declared as __stdarg functions.
