Yes, I've read the man page.  Yes, I agree -pedantic-errors should create 
errors, and -pedantic should not.  But this is NOT THE CASE.  This is what 
I've been saying over and over.

It's not just stdlib.h, quite a few libstdc++ headers trigger these 
'warnings' as well.

Again, look at the kde-freebsd lists.  I believe Lauri pointed to the big
thread about this.  This is indeed a problem with gcc, but by using
--disable-warnings I should be able to run configure without -pedantic.

That said, these prototypes are not missing on FreeBSD, but since autoconf 
can't determine the difference between a missing <whatever> and some other 
incidental error...
