TeXinfo-4.0 on IBM AIX 4.2

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

While I was able to force a build of texinfo-4.0 on IBM AIX 4.2
with CC=cc, my normal build procedure with CC=c89 failed because
of stricter type checking:

There were a lot more of this flavor.  Since texinfo is essentially
a filter, reading a text file, and producing a text file, there seems
to be no reason why it should not be compilable in a strict Standard C
environment.
