Alot of these will slowly be corrected as we go along. The prototypes
patch definately results in a lot more warnings if you're used to the
regular build. (Note - if you're used to building with -Wall and
equivalent, the prototypes patch has alot fewer warnings.)

Yeah, or just move up with .PHONY: libafs.o target in
MakefileProto.SOLARIS. I think that got moved around during some of the
testing.
