Redhat Linux 7.3 on i586, gcc-3.3.
>Description:
With the following source, gcc complains of an error on lin 10, when the error is actually on line 6:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        printf("Hi!\n");
asdfasdf



        return(0);
}

Gcc gives the following error:

    $ gcc hi.c
    hi.c: In function `main':
    hi.c:10: `asdfasdf' undeclared (first use in this function)
    hi.c:10: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
    hi.c:10: for each function it appears in.)
    hi.c:10: parse error before "return"
>How-To-Repeat:
compile the above source with "gcc hi.c"
