this was a great piece of advice :) thanks John. :P it should be
documented somewhere (maybe on the gcc tools page - a HINT for
developers)? :))
the problem is that somehow, when i used my trusty 'vi' editor over
a telnet session - it strangely entered some characters at the start
of my palm.c file (above my documentation area).
to the compiler it looked like this:
^%&$ typedef ...
pinpointed the problem in no time :P
az.
