Hi!
there is a persistent error which I get each time I try
to compile certain sources with gcc 2.7.2.1 under DU4.0A
on a DEC alphaserver 2100 4/275.
That happens, for instance trying to compile ghostscript
5.03, but many other programs as well.
I have overcomed it using cc instead of gcc whenever is possible,
but I don't manage to understand if it is a gcc problem or
a real syntax error in the system include file sysmisc.h
Here is a typical log (a makefile is running here)
cd /pool30/francesco/MARX/marx_2.04-dist/jdfits/src/objs; gcc -c -g -O2 -fno-str
ength-reduce -Dunix -I. /pool30/francesco/MARX/marx_2.04-dist/jdfits/src/syscon
f.c

/usr/include/sys/sysmisc.h:103: warning: data definition has no type or storage

The parse error in /usr/include/sys/sysmisc.h, line 100, repeat
itself in the same way when I compile other sources.
Needless to say, I have never modified the sysmisc.h file.
I am not a C programmer, but it seems there is nothing strange
at line 100 of sysmisc.h
Any hints?
