Unfortunately, the error still occurs.

A search for " /usr/include/sys/io.h:98: parse error before `::'" turned up a 
few comments indicating that it may be related to a bug in gcc, which may be 
fixed in ver. 2.96 . There was a report of the problem going away if using an 
earlier version of glibc. A suggested fix is to "change '::' to ' : : ' in 
sys/io.h" . I tried to use a #define ... #undef wrapper, but got errors about 
using an improper macro name.
