#define and struct name

["Cheng, Cheuk" <cheng at powertv dot com>]

Hi, when I use gcc version 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special) to compile the
following code, it gives the two warnings below.  Meanwhile, Visual C++
compiles the same code without any warnings.  Is gcc or VC++ wrong here?
The preprocessed source outputs from gcc and VC++ are the same (when I
compile the code with -E), so I guess gcc and VC++ are treating the same
code differently.

Thanks
