This is correct.

  kz>  extern void bcopy(const void *, void *, size_t);

This is wrong, I think: bcopy() is an ancient BSD function, provided
before void was introduced.  It's always used char*.

At any rate, I think the latest autoconf (to be included in the new
version of GNU make) will fix this problem.
