Arjen, I'm pretty sure this is not a reserved keyword in C and I've not had problems so it must be something specific to Cygwin. >From a quick google search it looks like this thread might be relevant? http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/Another-issue-with-CLANG-td95346.html Problem in this case seems to come from mixing windows native and X11 headers. Both define Status differently. There are a number of other google hits with similar problems.
