Compiling error when changing to gcc4.1.1

Compiling error when changing to gcc4.1.1

[Youngjean Jung]

Dear gcc-help :

When I used gcc-3.3.3 in compiling my code, I did not have any problem. 
Now, when I upgraded the gcc-3.3.3 to gcc-4.1.1, I have
the following compiling error. Do you have any idea how to fix it? I 
don't want to change my code because it is very huge. What I want is 
that compiling my old code with gcc-4.1.1.

Compiling spallocate.c
cc1: warning: command line option "-Wno-deprecated" is valid for 
C++/ObjC++ but not for C
In file included from spallocate.c:73:
spDefs.h:429: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'malloc'
spDefs.h:429: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'calloc'
spDefs.h:435: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'abort'
spallocate.c:373: error: static declaration of 'InitializeElementBlocks' 
follows non-static declaration

Thank you very much.

Youngjean.

I'm sorry.  You have to change your code.  A non-static declaration of
a function followed by a non-static declaration was never permitted by
the ISO C standard, and gcc now enforces that rule.
