fix regression with compilers not incorporating C99 DR#289 resolution

as originally published, the C99 syntax only allowed static index
parameter declarators when a gratuitous parameter name was included.
gcc 3, which some projects use for bootstrapping, is a supported C99
compiler, but does not have the fix to the standard incorporated, so
edit the affected declaration to conform to the earlier buggy C99
syntax.
