Include the following somewhere in your code. This should be included in
Window32api/Defines.h where FAR is defined to be nothing.

  #ifdef __GNUC__
  # define NEAR
  #endif

Or add '-DNEAR=' to your CPPFLAGS.

Btw, a good way to debug these things is the following:
  
  1. compile the file with -save-temps option to gcc which creates a ".i"
     file that is pre-processed.
  2. Take a look at what the compiler actually sees in the .i file.
