Ah, how naive today's youth; the new standard is in place for but a year, and
they believe there's never been anything else.

You are describing a pre-ANSI compiler.  Second edition K&R describes ANSI C;
the implementation in question adheres to First edition K&R (plus the
enhancements that were added to the language shortly after publication).
Function prototypes and automatic aggregate initialization are features that
are new to ANSI C.

Either obtain an ANSI C compiler (gcc is a good choice), or rewrite your code
to be compliant to Classic C.  The former is probably easier.
