Thorsten,

Hmm...   We can investigate the problem in more detail by looking at the
completely preprocessed code.  Try the following:

    1.  Go into the "/libsrc" subdirectory.

    2.  Execute the following command.  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "attr.i".

            /bin/cc -E -n32 -mips4 -I. attr.c

    3.  Look at "attr.c" near the problem area.  In the original file,
        the problem line was the following:

            typedef int ptrdiff_t;

        What is this line like when preprocesed?  (You might have to
        search for the string "ptrdiff_t" since the line numbers will be
        completely different.)
