If you are using gnu-cpp, (which is the only way to compile gcc), AND you are
the stock ccom, you must pass -traditional to the gnu-cpp.  This will
undefine __STDC__ for you (it is the ONLY way to undefine __STDC__ in the
cpp) and allow the stock ccom to handle the gnu code.

In the make file, put this into CFLAGS:
CFLAGS=-Wp,-traditional [+ stuff that is already there]

Good luck.  If that still fails, just grab gcc-1.30 from unix-pc.sources
