Sounds okay, but is it documented anywhere in the refresh?

So far the files that are needed to be modified by adding a type cast for
one or more function parameters, the files are:-
src\libc\ansi\stdio\fprintf.c
src\libc\ansi\stdio\fscanf.c
src\libc\ansi\stdio\printf.c
src\libc\ansi\stdio\remove.c
src\libc\compat\ioctl\ioctl.c
src\libc\compat\stdio\vscanf.c
src\libc\compat\stdio\vsscanf.c
src\libc\compat\time\select.c
src\libc\compat\unistd\_irdlink.c
src\libc\compat\unistd\fchown.c
src\libc\compat\unistd\llseek.c
src\libc\dos\io\_close.c
src\libc\dos\io\_creat_n.c
src\libc\dos\io\_open.c
src\libc\dos\io\_read.c
src\libc\dos\io\_write.c
src\libc\posix\fcntl\fcntl.c
src\libc\posix\sys\stat\fstat.c
src\libc\posix\sys\stat\lstat.c
src\libc\posix\unistd\link.c
src\libc\posix\unistd\lseek.c
src\libc\posix\unistd\write.c
src\libc\posix\unistd\confstr.c

Please note that confstr.c as simple as I thought and I am wtill working on
it as the compiler does not like the following line in the file:-
      out_len = snprintf(buf, len, "");
GCC 3.1 complains about the third parameter.

I seemed to have screwed something up in upgrading to GCC 3.1 and/or trying
to do a complete rebuild with GCC 3.1. I am getting SIGSEGV failures on a
number of exes that I have build. If I can't find the reason in the next 4
or 5 hours I will post more details on this.
