Thanks for the hint, but I've poured through the manual and
found lot of complier switches but not one like that. Their
explanation for error 17, "unsupported data type", says:

"This message occurs only when data types are used which are 
supported by the extended C language, such as the enum data type."

I suppose they're talking about ANSI C, which was probably in 
the proposal stage back then (1986). However, the manual
specifically mentions data types float and double... (?)
