You don't need an ASCII version, your original library source code will do. It is, however, more convenient for a couple of reasons to hack up an ASCII version especially for lint, like /usr/lib/llib-lc, and build the binary lint library from that. This is analogous to the "compressed" [nt]roff macros.
