Expect-5.13 make problem

Hello,
Has anyone been successful in compiling Don Libes' Expect-5.13 package
(ftp.cme.nist.gov/pub/expect/alpha.tar.Z) on an Alpha? We have a
DEC3000 Model 400, for which uname -a gives:

OSF1 xtal16.harvard.edu V2.0 240 alpha

While Tk and Tcl make without problems, in the case of Expect, the
compilation falls over with the message:

cc -c -I. -I. -I./../tcl7.3 -I./../tk3.6 -I/usr/include/X11
-DDFLT_STTY=\"sane
\" -DEXP_VERSION=\"5.13.2\"
-DSCRIPTDIR=\"/programs/util/expect-5.13/lib/expec
t\" -DEXECSCRIPTDIR=\"/programs/util/expect-5.13/lib/expect\"
-DTCL_DEBUGGER -
O0 -g Dbg.c
/usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/cfe: Warning: /usr/include/string.h: 211: The number of
argum
ents in macro invocation does not match definition
/usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/cfe: Error: /usr/include/string.h, line 211: Syntax Error
 extern char *strchr(,);
 --------------------^
*** Exit 1
Stop.

Not being a c expert, I'm not sure how to correct this. Are pre-compiled
Expect binaries available?
Thankyou,
