I don't think so.

openvrml has the same failure; and in this case the code is in an
'extern "C"' block.

I've recently had a user report this same problem with gcc 4.2.

I think you misunderstood. This problem occurs in gcc 4.3.0-0.4; not in
4.1.2-36.

I'd like to know more about this, too. Currently I'm not convinced it
isn't a gcc bug.

Can someone with gcc 4.3 installed try compiling a few brief C++
programs with g++?

For starters:

        typedef void void_t;
        int f(void_t) { return 0; }
        int main() { f(); }

If that works, try this one:

        extern "C" {
        typedef void void_t;
        int f(void_t) { return 0; }
        }
        int main() { f(); }

And finally:

        typedef void void_t;
        extern "C" {
        int f(void_t) { return 0; }
        }
        int main() { f(); }

If any of these fails, I'd sure like to know why. If they succeed, I'd
sure like to know what's special about GLvoid.
