According the InfoExplorer, lint on AIXv3.1 knows about function prototypes
and there are flags to allow you to either ignore or catch all occurances of
such things.

The flag you need is -MA (Enforces ANSI C Language standard).  Without it,
lint defaults into the extended C mode (which you can find out more about
in the C Language Reference Manual).
