No it isn't.  The FAQ says that you should not change zle_tricky.c.  If it
compiles after your change it means that you did not change the header file.
The correct prototype for yp_all is

extern int yp_all(char *, char *, struct ypall_callback *);

That's what the faq says.  zle_tricky.c is correct.  Fix
/usr/inclide/rpcsvc/ypclnt.h.  If you do not have root privileges ask your
sysadmin to do it.  Or you may create an rpcsvc subdirectory in the zsh
directory and place the fixed ypclnt.h there (I did not try it but it should
work).

I think that should be mentioned in the FAQ.
