[bugs] [illumos gate - Bug #1200] various modules declare static functions within function bodies

[illumos bugs]

Issue #1200 has been updated by Rich Lowe.


Putting prototypes in function bodies is certainly tasteless, but declaring them _static_ is bogus: if the compiler supports nested functions an extension 'static' and it being declared within a function will specify conflicting scope; and possibly bogus in general -- I'm not certain what the standards say about the scope of a prototype declared, regardless of the nested-functions extension.

It is, apparently, non-sensical to place a static function prototype within the body of a function, though Studio and GCC have supported it.

They should be pulled up to file scope.
