Thanks Richard, but, also looking at the dialect link, what option
should I use to mimic gcc version 11.2.0 (GCC) or 12.2, either of
which compiles my stuff without a problem. I have tried std=gnu89
but that didn't work. I tried other stuff of the form -Wno-implicit-init
or something like that that compiler suggested but no change with
that.

It might be that gnu89 would compile my most really old stuff,
but since then I have adapted to newer compilers that gnu89
doesn't like. There are 1,354 .c files, and as I said, over
1,045,000 lines of code. I am too old to fix them in my
remaining lifetime.
