It's the usual problem with some compilers (like gcc 2.95) not allowing
variable declarations in other places than the beginning of blocks.

So either switch compiler to one that supports it or edit the file and
move the declaration of the priv variable to the beginning of the block.
The attached patch should do the latter.
