There is no longer a line 752, but this was added (by Kurt) in the current
sources (line 317). When I saw this I checked my books and all my lint-like
tools: the code I wrote does seem valid C according to all my checks.

Would just ";" satisfy your compiler?

Will gcc really not accept 3) on your platform?  It does on all of mine,
in all the versions of gcc I tried. It would be a surprise for gcc's
parser to be platform-specific.
