HUH? That's exactly what he's saying!
The "proper lseek() declaration" is found in unistd.h, and it is brought
into imake.c's scope by adding an #include directive a la '#include <unistd.h>
to the source.
BTW: 386BSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD all use gcc, so there's no need to bitch
about compilers which don't grok prototypes.

>Declarations of OS specific identifiers have nothing to do in applications.

No? Applications don't use facilities provided by the OS? Interresting view...
