Ouch.  I think they're reserved words in C, too.

The problem is that I don't own either set of sources.  I'll report this to
the respective projects and see if I can get them to change the code.  I'll
also suggest that they try the mainline to avoid future problems.

So downgrading if I want to profile the code is not an option.  Since I'm
not planning to profile the code (the option was in effect due to a bug in
their configure script) I'm not going to worry about it too much.  If I
decide to do any profiling, I'll get the mainline.

They certainly looked like thunks, but I thought they might be for
parameter coersions.  Multiple inheritance makes sense, too.
