Assuming that the code you compiled looked as follows:

void (*border_proc)();  
void Assign_border(void (*user_border)()){
  border_proc = user_border;
}

You should have had no problems with a compiler that correctly handles 
the new ANSI formal parameter declarations.  pcc on 386/ix doesn't handle
it, but the fix was simple:

void Assign_border(user_border)
	void (*user_border)();
{
  border_proc = user_border;
}

gcc correctly handles either case.
