[OpenAFS-devel] which OS's can't handle prototypes in kernel code?

Last I checked, if you asked HP, the thing called "cc" bundled with
hp-ux is not a compiler; it's only there to rebuild a single
automatically-generated source file constructed by config.

It does not seem unreasonable to require folks building kernel
extensions to get a real compiler -- either gcc or the vendor
compiler.
