Sun CC 5.8 fails with a strange error compiling diff-delta.c that
looks like an error in Sun's compiler to me:

Yes, the two prototypes are identical. Seems like the compiler has
problems with the opaque struct. When I played around with it, I
was surprised when I found that Sun CC actually compiled this file
after I removed the const qualifier from the first parameter of the
create_delta() function. Does anybody have a better explanation
than an error in the compiler?
