lint question

[Jim Barnes]

I posted a question about lint to net.lang.c and net.unix but
have received only one response so far.  Can anyone in this
group offer any suggestions?

The original posting follows.

To add a little information, I have had no problems compiling
the program, the problem only occurs when I use lint.  Secondly, 
there are several large #include files referenced by the 
source that are part of a dbms package that we use.  I consider 
hacking those #include files a last resort since I will have 
to modify the files every time we get a new release of the 
dbms package.
