That shouldn't be a big problem.  It just means that NumPy will provide 
the missing features instead of using the system functions.  

More problematic is the strange errors you are getting about void * not 
having a size.  The line numbers you show are where we have variable 
declarations like

register intp i

Is it possible that integers the size of void * cannot be placed in a 
register??
