It says something like "extern char* sys_errlist[]"? Just remove that, and
make sure the file includes <stdio.h>. I don't know if this is a BSDism;
IIRC, on SunOS 4, sys_errlist wasn't declared in any include file, and it
had to be declared extern. In general, I've found that "extern" declarations
indicate ugly or out of date code; if the code is out of date, the
declarations should be commented out and appropriate #include-s put in.
