        Those line numbers don't point to code with the kinds of things
the compiler is saying.  The 24th's update definitely needed a make
clean before compiling.  Did you do that?  If so, you're in the general
region of spaghetti #ifdef'ing for the EXEC_LINKS support.  Could you
have modified userdefs.h in a manner which throws off the compiler
when it gets back to LYOptions.c.  I get no errors or warnings on
Scott's SPARC, though it's compiler isn't as fussy as that for linux.
