Details:

While building 6.2.0 on Solaris 10 SPARC with gcc 7.3.0, gmake ends thusly:

    liboctave/wrappers/iconv-wrappers.c:35:1: error: conflicting types for
'octave_iconv_open_wrapper'
     octave_iconv_open_wrapper (const char *tocode, const char *fromcode)
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    In file included from liboctave/wrappers/iconv-wrappers.c:32:0:
    liboctave/wrappers/iconv-wrappers.h:34:1: note: previous declaration of
'octave_iconv_open_wrapper' was here
     octave_iconv_open_wrapper (const char *tocode, const char *fromcode);
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    liboctave/wrappers/iconv-wrappers.c:41:1: error: conflicting types for
'octave_iconv_close_wrapper'
     octave_iconv_close_wrapper (iconv_t cd)
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    In file included from liboctave/wrappers/iconv-wrappers.c:32:0:
    liboctave/wrappers/iconv-wrappers.h:37:1: note: previous declaration of
'octave_iconv_close_wrapper' was here
     octave_iconv_close_wrapper (void *cd);
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first error message is confusing because the declaration was split over
two lines so the error output only showed the second lines (which are
identical). In the first error the function is declared “extern void *” in
the .h file and “iconv_t” in the c file. Which one is right?
