Erm... do you force any C language mode like $ gcc -std=c99 ... # ?
Does using something like $ gcc -std=gnu99 ... # fix some issues
("gnu99" means "c99" with GNU extensions... otherwise gcc may be too
strict in many real-world cases) ? One possible (as seen with "clang"
on some platforms) issue may be that "iffe"'s way to find a function
without using the whole prototype is more or less doomed when
compilers apply strict C99 or C1X rules (this basically means we have
to "fix" the whole build system sooner or later to work with ISO C++
compilers to ensure we weeded-out all typing issues) ...

Does gcc 4.4 behave the same way ?

Bye,
Roland
P.S.: Is there any test machine available in which Glenn or I could
log-in and test it ourselves ?
