HP-UX 11.00 (may apply to other platforms with "strict"
ANSI C compilers)
>Description:
HP-UX's ANSI C compiler likes the conditional (a?b:c) construct
to have matching types for the return values b and c (which
is sensible, you'd agree :-) ). In gcc/cp/cp-tree.h, there
is a mismatch in the #define's for SET_BINFO_MARKED(),
CLEAR_BINFO_MARKED(), SET_BINFO_VTABLE_PATH_MARKED() and
CLEAR_BINFO_VTABLE_PATH_MARKED() (lines 1668, 1669, 1674
and 1675).

It turns out that the "true" part ("b" if you like)
returns a (void), but the "false" part ("c") doesn't.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile gcc 3.0.1 with a strict ANSI C compiler - I used
the HP-UX 11.00 HP ANSI C compiler for this.
>Fix:
Cast the "else" part ("c") to a (void). For example:

#define SET_BINFO_MARKED(NODE) (TREE_VIA_VIRTUAL(NODE)?SET_CLASSTYPE_MARKED(BINFO_TYPE(NODE)):(void)(TREE_LANG_FLAG_0(NODE)=1))

State-Changed-Why:
    You shouldn't really be using the HP-UX compiler to
    compile the GNU C++ front-end, but I applied your patch.
