Try type casting the definitions, like thus:

#define	stdin	((FILE *)&_iob[0])
#define	stdout	((FILE *)&_iob[1])
#define	stderr	((FILE *)&_iob[2])

This should cure your lint problem whithout screwing anything else up (I
hope :-).  BTW, my (Microport) System V stdio.h is just like your
original, and lint likes it OK.  Maybe you did get the lint from the
Dead Sea Tapes.
