Nope, lint is based on AT&T code. lint is a syntax checker for C.
Alternatively, you can enable more syntax checking by specifying 
'-Wall' as one of the compiler options.

To get the compile going, what about writing a fake lint such as

#!/bin/sh
# call this file lint - this is a shell script that does nothing
exit

Make it executable and put it somewhere into your path.
