Summary:                    [PORTABILITY] coreutils/printf.c and cal.c rely on
__P for prototypes
Description: 
As far as I can tell this is just legacy cruft someone forgot to delete.
The rest of BusyBox does not support pre-ANSI C compilers. If it's
desirable to keep this, please add:

#ifndef __P
#define __P(x) x
#endif

or similar so that BusyBox does not rely on the internal macros of glibc
which are not meant to be available to applications.
