(gcc -E) No, it just makes your eyes bleed. I have no idea what's going on here, or why it might have built on other systems -- it looks horridly broken. It seems to be trying to treat the fpos_t data type (which is an opaque structure and must be accessed with fgetpos()) as if it was a scalar integer, along the lines of: unsigned long foo; fpos_t bar; foo = bar; If that builds on i386, I have no clue why. And I also have no clue what all this SWAP_HALF_IN_FOO() is all about, either. I'll keep poking at it, for as long as I can stand before I have to kill myself.
