problem compiling panel

[Fred Bacon <bacon mediaone net>]

This has been plaguing me for weeks.  Whenever I try to build the panel
I get the same set of errors.  I'm certain that I've got some minor
thing wrong, but it is driving me crazy trying to find it.  Mico builds
and installs without a hitch.  It passes all of its tests, but whenever
it gets called while building the panel the following happens.

===========


Notice the phrase "declaration of C function" about four lines from the
bottom?  I'm running egcs 1.0.2 and have the appropriate libraries
installed, but something is not set up properly.  The g++ compiler
builds other projects correctly.  This is making me nuts.  

Any (reasonable;-) advice is welcome.
