- If you get frequent warnings about built-in functions in GCC 2.3,
- chances are some bug is responsible. The only way anyone can find out
- is if you send a precise bug report. So please do that. Papering
- over the problem with an option will avoid getting to the bottom of
- things.

- I don't consider this to be a bug. The warnings are due to our
- definition of several functions which conflict with the builtin types.
- We have a function 'sin' for example which accept input from a tty
- stream. We get a warning in almost every file because sin is implicitly
- declared as a builtin. The warnings don't do any harm, they are just
- annoying.
-
- We are not running a Unix-like OS. We are using GCC in our real time OS
- which we embed in our router. This means we do not have the same calling
- interface that one would normally find, so we tend to get more than an
- average number of warnings for builtin declarations.
-
- best regards,
- -Jim.
