Section 8.2.1 says: 

Througout the sample source code, ANSI-C style is used for the
function prototypes, i.e. giving type and name for function
arguments.  This rule is broken on mid-page 25, just below
the offending snippit from item (5) above.
For consistency and portability, the source code fragment:

/* Local Function Prototypes */
static void SHA1Finalize(SHA1Context *context, uint8_t Pad_Byte);
static void SHA1PadMessage(SHA1Context *, uint8_t Pad_Byte);
static void SHA1ProcessMessageBlock(SHA1Context *);

should better say, amending the last two lines:

/* Local Function Prototypes */
static void SHA1Finalize(SHA1Context *context, uint8_t Pad_Byte);
static void SHA1PadMessage(SHA1Context *context, uint8_t Pad_Byte);
static void SHA1ProcessMessageBlock(SHA1Context *context);
