Summary: Syntax errors in HsBase.h when using -fvia-c

Initial Comment:
When compiling any file with -fvia-c I get:

/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.4/include/HsBase.h:219: error: syntax error before "int"
/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.4/include/HsBase.h:220: error: syntax error before "void"
/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.4/include/HsBase.h:223: error: syntax error before "int"
...
...

That's probably because the INLINE keyword is not part of the ANSI C standard.

The system I'm running is FreeBSD 5.3 on i386.

No followup from submitter, and we know that GHC 6.4 works
fine on FreeBSD 5.3.  Perhaps a non-GCC C compiler was being
used.

Could you please attach or send the complete output from
ghc, with the -v flag, when used to compile a simple test
module with -fvia-C. Thanks.
