Thanks for tracking this down.  I'm assuming that you are using the
AIX compiler, since aix4-1.h actually contains

#ifdef __GNUC__
#undef _NO_PROTO
#endif

I assume this is because older versions of the AIX compiler does not
handler function prototypes; and, conversely, that the AIX 5.2
compiler does.  Do you know if function prototypes is new (!) to AIX
5.2?
