Please, on what system? You mentioned the compiler you are using, but the
platform (`uname -srm`) is also mandatory information.

The main source file is indeed from gnulib, but the syntax error is occurring
in a file from your /tools/include directory. So, as this point it's not
clear where the problem comes from. It requires more investigation:
> /tools/include/wctype.h:118: error: expected ')' before '__wc'
When a compiler reports a syntax error, one needs to look at
1. the source code around the mentioned location (/tools/include/wctype.h
up to line 118),
2. the preprocessed input, i.e. here, the result of
gcc4.3 -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../intl -g -O2 -E
mbchar.c
Can you take a look at these two, or show us the relevant parts of it,
please?
