I have discovered what I believe to be some errors in the Lattice C
5.02 prototype files.
1) proto/icon.h has AllocWBObject() prototyped as being 'struct WBObject'
and AddFreeList() is prototyped as 'long'
HOWEVER, in the workbench/icon.h include file, they are declared as
struct WBObject *AllocWBObject();
VOID AddFreeList();
I modified proto/icon.h and the Error 72's I had went away.
2) stdlib.h DOES NOT have a prototype for rand(). As a result,
the linker won't pick @rand out of lcr.lib when using the
-rr option to lc (it will pick _rand out of lc.lib, though).
Are these legit bugs or am I being naive?
All answers appreciated!

Those are legit - I fixed the first one myself. On the other hand,
I've _never_ gotten a release from Lattice where I didn't have to
twiddle the include files, though I've gotten releases where I only
had to twiddle those that should have come from CBM.
There are some other problems with -rr. Onbreak() was apparently
compiled without -rr in lcsr.lib, so that it looks for _CXBRK instead
of @CXBRK. And one of the utility functions in proto/intuition.h is
missing completely from the library.
The solution in both cases was to change the proto files so those are
declared as __stdarg functions.
