SunOS header workaround breaks compilation with gcc-15 #94

I'm getting the following compilation error on Archlinux with gcc-15:

read_boulder.c:106:15: error: conflicting types for ‘strtod’; have ‘double(void)’
  106 | extern double strtod();
      |               ^~~~~~
In file included from read_boulder.c:45:
/usr/include/stdlib.h:122:15: note: previous declaration of ‘strtod’ with type ‘double(const char *,  char **)’

      |               ^~~~~~
read_boulder.c: In function ‘parse_double’:
read_boulder.c:1001:12: error: too many arguments to function ‘strtod’; expected 0, have 2

This is the same as this Debian Bug, with the same solution: remove the old compatibility declaration.
