You have a good question.  Sun's lint only complains about "defined but
not used" type things.  Try looking at /usr/lib/lint/llibc (or whatever
the equivalent is on your machine).  The one here (llib-lc) has:

...
		/* VARARGS2 */
	int	fprintf( f, s ) FILE *f; char *s; {return 1;}
...

I have a funny feeling they have "int f" instead of "FILE *f".  That's
more of a bug in the description file than in lint itself.  I am assuming
that your vendor supplies the human-readable version of the lint libraries,
which is probably a very silly thing to assume.  However, maybe you got
lucky.
