The error is in the source file ftmac.c, which includes a Mac-specific 
header using 'inline' keywords by default.  The problem comes from the 
-ansi switch to gcc, as Garrick Meeker has recently reported, which 
causes gcc not to recognize 'inline'.

The simple solution is to change builds/unix/configure to not use -ansi 
if $host matches *-apple*.  However it would be a shame to disable 
-ansi for the whole build; do you know how to tweak the builds/unix 
makefile so that only ftmac.c is built without -ansi?  I guess it would 
have to be separated out from ftbase.c in that case...

Dear Michael,

Not wrong, but it would have been more helpful if you had looked at the 
file that gave the error: /usr/include/libkern/ppc/OSByteOrder.h:42 
syntax error before "uint16_t" and saw that it was a macro OS_INLINE.  
I'm sure that it would have given you some useful ideas about the 
problem, and you might have been able to report the solution to us 
instead of waiting for us to find it ;-)
