The initializers to some things need to be constants.
In your case, it appears that either CAPTAG or useLabel (or both)
have ended up not being #define'd.  Probably the header they are
#define'd in is not being #include'd (you don't show it above,
but then you don't show enough of your code to even reproduce it).

On a relate note, you can see the results of preprocessing
from pcc by using the -E and/or -P options, that way you
can see whether the macro ended up getting substituted
and what it was substituted to -- or not in your case.
Some compilers also have options which will emit the trail of
files #include'd but I don't see that option for pcc.
