The original line was this:

   int lj, alt, big, bigbig, small, have_prec, need_format;

So it is clear that `small' got #define'd to `char', and that is what
confuses the compiler.  All the compilation errors you see are the
consequence of this snafu.

I'm quite sure that this #define comes from windows.h (included by
sigsegv.h) or from one of the headers included by windows.h.

The solution is to put this:

 #ifdef small
 #undef small
 #endif

right after #include <sigsegv.h>.

A better solution would be for builtin.c to rename this variable into
something less general.
