You need protoize. It will convert K&R C to ANSI C and ANSI C to K&R
C. Protoize makes use of the parser from GCC. This means that the
protoize source code is a patch to GCC. You will need both the GCC and
the protoize source in order to compile it. Both are found at
prep.ai.mit.edu.

GCC is the most readily available ANSI C compiler for Sun's. Why not
get it? installation on a Sun is no hassle at all, and the price is
right :-).
