i had the exact same error when compiling emacs with gcc 1.36.93 using gcc
-traditional -O, but plain gcc -O worked fine (albeit with a bunch of warning
messages)

this patch makes emacs work just fine when compiled with gcc -O
-traditional. now i just have to see how well it works using gcc 1.37.1 on
SunOS 4.1 ...
