based on the grammar snippet posted earlier, it looks as though
the compiler is correct. a case label in C is not so different from a label
(thus duff's device is allowed), and as i understood the snippet,
declarations can't be labelled. might make you wonder why they
bothered, and indeed, i do wonder. i think they should leave the language alone.
(and if they were going to do more than tinker,
they might have added something significant, such as tuples.)

if that is the case i would suggest the grammar (yacc file) needs
a tweak - could be as simple as a missing case (or two).
good catch.
