Would someone be good enough to check this out on a sysV machine?
I believe it won't compile because it's wrong, try:

extern int usr1(), usr2(), usr3() ;
int (*usrprocs[])() = { usr1, usr2, usr3 } ;

ie. that isn't an array of ints, it's an array of pointers to
functions returning int (phew.) If other compilers aren't
complaining, they're being lazy and not doing their job.
Confusing ints with pointers is a classic port problem.
