The unames are:
FreeBSD  4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 2001     jkh at narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386
FreeBSD  4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct  9 15:08:34 GMT 2002     root at builder.freebsdmall.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
	When I first encountered a problem with  gcc  in  4.3 , I copied the  gcc  from  4.7  into  4.3  and tried it.  The program and  .h  file are attached, as is a file containing the first 4 lines of error messages (once the compiler discovers errors, you can't believe those after the first, they may be accurate, and maybe not).
