hello Olof,
since i got the same problem, you are describing, i think i can
help you in that matter.
first of all: ITS A BUG ! in the microware C-compiler 2.1 (i suppose
thats the one you are using ?!).
instead of writing :
int (*func(fname)) ()
you should declare the following:
int (*func()) (fname)
---------
thats all ..... at least it was ok with my stuff !!
really wierd bug, but there are some more .....
eg:
struct test {
	char *first;
	int  somestuff;
	} * mystruct;
	
	
	now u want to do following (e.g.)
	strcpy( mystruct->first, anotherstring);
	
	HELL that gives an {_Error !!!! try it !!
	
	the problem is confusing, i got around it by using
	a temporary * char.........
	Best wishes for further porting .....
