I went to see the scope of this problem, and I was surprised to find
that PDPCLIB was able to be built with this compiler.

It was PDOS (actually, pcomm.c) that had some issues - with initialization
of automatic arrays.

There is only a small amount of such code, so I think I will just work
around the issue so that I can use Microsoft C 5.1 for development.

I have committed the changes.
