I get the following error on powerpc-apple-darwin7.5.0 with gambc40b11:

This is in this strange code:

if (d->emulate_terminal) { /* forward declaration needed because lineeditor_output is recursive */

___HIDDEN ___SCMOBJ lineeditor_output_terminal_emulate ___P((___device_tty *self, ___C *buf, int len), ());

d->emulate_terminal = 0; e = lineeditor_output_terminal_emulate (d, buf, len); d->emulate_terminal = 1; } else e = extensible_string_insert (&d->output_char, d->output_char.length, len, buf);

Can you even have a forward declaration here? Why not make declarations for all functions at the top of the file and not worry about it. (It works when I move the declaration to the top level and leave out the local "declaration".)
