parted-1.8.1 parse error gcc 2.95.3

[Till Wimmer]

hello

i'd like to compile the latest parted version for a old linux wiht glibc 
2.2.5 and gcc 2.95.3,

but i get a parse error:

arch/linux.c: In function `init_dasd':
arch/linux.c:972: parse error before `*'
arch/linux.c:984: `arch_specific' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/linux.c:984: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/linux.c:984: for each function it appears in.)

configure line was:
./configure --disable-Werror --disable-debug --disable-nls

does anybody know how to solve this problem?

any help would be very much appreciated

till
