I get many warnings like: ./../h/../h/att_ext.h:623:8: warning: a function declaration without a prototype is deprecated in all versions of C and is not supported in C2x [-Wdeprecated-non-prototype] object fLrow_major_aref(); ^ ./../h/../h/new_decl.h:268:14: note: conflicting prototype is here EXTER object fLrow_major_aref (object x,fixnum i); Then when gcl is loading up all the parts, I get: COMPILER> Error: PROGRAM-ERROR "HEAP-REPORT [or a callee] requires less than three arguments."
