I probably didn't, but I have now, and I see the "problem". This is actually expected behavior. '-ansi strict' disallows any Apple extensions to the ANSI standard that are used throughout the toolbox interfaces. So, inline constructs such as the ones used for the File Manager calls are ignored, and you end up with direct function references to functions that don't actually exist in the libraries.

To allow the Apple extensions to work as you'd expect, but still force the compiler to complain about other non-ANSI constructs, use '-ansi on' instead of '-ansi strict'.

This is explained in the SC reference documentation, found at <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_etc./Documentation/MPW_Reference/SC_SCpp_Reference.sit.hqx>. See pages 1-4 through 1-9.
