ANSI C does not permit compatibility between function declarations
with empty parameter lists (which is what we provide for sprintf in
stdio.h), and prototypes with an ellipsis (which is correct for
sprintf).
Bug 1: The hc2 compiler does not even hint that there could be a
problem, even with the "-H+w" option.
Bug 2: The stdio.h header file on both platforms should have
int sprintf ();
replaced with
#ifndef __STDC__
int sprintf ();
#else
int sprintf (char *, const char *, ...);
#endif
and should probably have prototypes for printf and fprintf as well.
