Yes.

Not exactly. It's strcpy() that causes the problems. When you compile with -O,
the compiler will try to inline strcpy() and strcmp(). To do this, it
defines two macros strcpy() and and strcmp(), which conflict with the function
declarations in the elm sources.

>Is there some compiler switch that will make the compiler accept this?

Yes. With the current version of the compiler, you don't want to use inlined
strcpy()/strcmp() anyway, so you can disable this mechanism by adding the
compiler option -U__STR__ to your makefiles. No editing of source files
required.
