The cvs 1.12.9 sources uses

int read_and_gzip (int, const char *, unsigned char **, size_t *, size_t *,
                   int);

in src/server.h and 

int
read_and_gzip (int fd, const char *fullname, unsigned char **buf, size_t *size,
               size_t *len, int level)

in src/zlib.c and those two prototypes look the same to me with regard
to types.

You might try looking at the cpp output of the zlib.c compilation to see
if some macro somewhere has managed to mangle size_t or const or
something... but I am at a loss to understand why that should be
different off-hand.
