Or, alternatively, LSX is really old. The compiler there likely doesn't
support 'void'.

>From the lsx part of tuhs:

# cp /dev/tty8 addr.c
main() {
  int a;
  printf("main address: %u (0%o)\n", main, main);
  printf("stack address: %u (0%o)\n", &a, &a);
  printf("heap address: %u (0%o)\n", sbrk(0), sbrk(0));
}
^D
# cc addr.c
# a.out
main address: 16410 (040032)
stack address: 40934 (0117746)
heap address: 17920 (043000)

None of the disks appear to have a /usr/include. The only .h files look
like they were from the kernel.
