Error when compiling XFree86 on gcc 3.0

Error when compiling XFree86 on gcc 3.0

[Murali Potla]

Thanks everybody for your  help
but i have a new problem now

When I am trying to compile to XFree86-4.0.3 on gcc -3.0 
it's giving an parser error

Error:

In file included from 
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-aryan-linux/3.0/include/curses.h:86,                 
from resize.c:293:
/usr/include/ncurses/unctrl.h:57: parse error before "unctrl"
/usr/include/ncurses/unctrl.h:57: ISO C forbids data definition with no type 
or
storage class
make[3]: *** [resize.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make: *** [install] Error 2

What's wrong here 

I am sending that file unctrl.h as attchment

Thanks

It may be a rather weak suggestion and might not compile, but my
understanding is that the default type is int, so you could simply insert
that. Failing that, is there a flag in the Makefile for strict,
strict-no-alias, or pedantic? You could perhaps remove this flag and get a
slightly happier gcc. ;)

I tried Declaring "unctrl" as int type but then it is giving so many parse 
errors in other header files. I have also tried removing pedantic tag in 
Makefile then also it hasn't compiled. 
What should i do now.
Thanks for ur help
