Agreed.  Should the declarations be changed then to void instead of static
void so that it does not give warnings?  I've worked on some projects where
the leads where very pedantic about cleaning up all warnings and was wondering
what the consensus amongst the plan 9 crowd.

I simply noticed the patch and was wondering if there would be any advantage
to including it, so I have no idea if there is any specific advantage.  I also
was not sure if this was simply a POSIX'ism or a 9'ism, and if this
could/should be cleaned up.
