Thank Timo, Woosan and Asheesh for your help.  I did see a parameter for
xlc (-qlanglvl=extc99), but our compiler is too old, and it doesn't recognize
it.  I then tried gcc, we had version 4.0.0 installed, and it does compile.
I did have to do the changes Woonsan recommended (below).

My compiliation method wasn't very elegant.  I did the make, saw an error, 
and rquota.h was created.  I edited rquota.h as shown above.  I ran make 
a second time which errored, but generated rquota_xdr.c.  I edited 
rquota_xdr.c, and the third make succeeded.  Is there a cleaner method 
to use?

Thanks again, it's very comforting to know I can compile it!
