This is the warning enabled by -Wtraditional, and you get it for all
functions that have full prototypes, i.e.:

# giorgos at gothmog:/tmp/foo$ cc -Wtraditional foo.c
# foo.c: In function `foo':
# foo.c:4: warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions
# foo.c: In function `main':
# foo.c:10: warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions
# giorgos at gothmog:/tmp/foo$ cc -Wtraditional bar.c
# giorgos at gothmog:/tmp/foo$ diff -u bar.c foo.c
# --- bar.c       Tue Jul 25 03:53:59 2006

Either the original GhostScript sources or the port uses -Wtraditional...
