Save your window.  I compiled it without trouble on my 3B2 running 3.1.
All I defined was STUPID_CPP, to get around a space limitation in the
preprocessor.  I understand that that limitation's been fixed in the
next release of C.  Anyway, the only time I've seen an error like that,
it was because the compiler either ran out of temp file space, so the
write failed (see the man page on how to change where the temp files
are made), or because the ulimit was exceeded while writing the ourput
file or a temp file (see the man page on ulimits).  On my machine my 
ulimit is 2048 (1 megabyte).

Lotsa Luck,
Mike Lindner
