Yaakov,
I have tried compiling 4.14.  Here is the last few lines of the make 
output, with line numbers to compensate for line-breaks:

     179     /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc 
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" 
-DSYSCONFFILE=\"/usr/local/etc/a2ps.cfg\" -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../intl 
-I.    -g -O2  -c -o path-concat.lo path-concat.c
     180  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" 
-DSYSCONFFILE=\"/usr/local/etc/a2ps.cfg\" -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../intl 
-I. -g -O2 -c path-concat.c -o path-concat.o
     181 In file included from path-concat.c:30:
     182 /usr/include/string.h:58: error: parse error before "void"
     183 make[3]: *** [path-concat.lo] Error 1

     188 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Jake/scratch/a2ps/a2ps-4.14'

(Sighh..)
