fpurge is part of a family of functions that are best ported together.
To do so, please fetch
  http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu/testdir-stdioext.tar.gz
then
  - Unpack the package, configure it. Try "make" and fix the problems.
  - Run "make check" to see the test results.
  - The recommended order of porting (from easy to harder) is:
    fbufmode, fseterr, freadable, fwritable, freading, fwriting,
    fpending, fpurge, freadptr, freadseek, freadahead.
It requires a deep look at the 'struct FILE' and related macros from
<stdio.h>.

Please use "#if defined __TANDEM" as condition for your added code
(see <http://predef.sourceforge.net/preos.html#sec28>).
