bug in lint (really - oldfashioned =op)

Unfortunately, the old =- is still with us in System V, sort of:
	main(){
		int j;
		j=5;
		j=-1;
		}
Under System V, both lint and cc complain that the j=-1 line is
ambiguous, and select the assignment-op.  Then they reject it, and
don't produce object code.

Under System V Rel 2, it finally lets you say j=-1; when you mean
	j = (-1);
- the lint comment is that the assignment is ambiguous, but the
unary-op is chosen, so it does it right this time.

P.S. I didn't remember the old init syntax, so I haven't tried it.
