The C++ parser has some problems with parting function prototypes with
__attributes__ separated from the function names. I think that you will
need to go through the entries in Sockets.h that cause the errors and
change them to put the PASCAL word at the end of the line (I think this
works). E.g.

char PASCAL *inet_ntoa (struct in_addr in);

becomes

char *inet_ntoa (struct in_addr in) PASCAL;

It doesn't look nice, but it seems to work (won't work with non GNU
compilers though, but neither will a lot of other stuff in those
headers).

Good luck,
Colin.
