 Synopsis: GCC 2.95.2 gives misleading "syntax error" with headerfile typedef, when error is elsewhere

 State-Changed-When: Mon Jun  4 12:06:36 2001
 State-Changed-Why:
     GCC is correct; after preprocessing, the next token after
     yours is in the header, which examining preprocessed source
     will show you clearly.  As an LALR(1) parser it detects the
     error as soon as possible.  The behavior in this case
     is stated by the C standard to be undefined, and the
     compiler is not required to diagnose it.
