This looks like a syntax error in your macros. They get expanded in GCC code 
and the error only happen when the expanded code is compiled. Have a look at 
the positions GCC tells you there are errors at, and check your macros for 
correctness. This is probably a dumb error, like forgetting a ";" at the end 
of a declaration or something.

As for the differences between gcc 2.95 and 3.2, I guess if you redefine the 
poisonned macros as hooks, fix things that don't compile because of obsolete 
macros and add the new macros that are needed, you shouldn't have much 
trouble. Can't help much, since I've started looking at GCC from 3.0.
