Sorry, I should have mentioned that this is OpenBSD 3.6 (i386), which uses a localized version of GCC 2.95.3. (Note that when 3.7 is released, OpenBSD/i386 will use GCC3)

The test.c program compiles fine on my system. I would guess that _U_ is a GCC3-ism?

Well, perhaps some versions of GCC don't like that; apparently the Apple 
version in question does.  (Maybe this is a GCC 4.0 change, or maybe 
older versions of GCC didn't support it.)

John, what happens if you try compiling the small attached program? 
Does the compiler report an error?  And, if you're using GCC, what does 
"gcc --version" print?
