Going to 1.34.2 is a good idea, but the fix here is to modify
builtin.h so that `odd' and `even' are declared as overloaded, i.e.

// ........ builtin.h stuff omitted for brevity

#ifndef _builtin_h
#define _builtin_h 1


overload clearbit;
overload dec;
overload gcd;
overload hex;
overload lcm;
overload lg;
overload oct;
overload setbit;
overload sign;
overload sqr;
overload testbit;
overload odd; // add these two
overload even; // guys here!

// more stuff omitted



Hope this solves your problem.
