This is a known problem.
Bryce> ../../../libjava/java/lang/mprec.h:83: parse error before `__uint32_t'
If you're on an x86 box, you can change some code near the top of
mprec.h from this:
 #ifndef HAVE_INT32_DEFINED
 typedef int __int32_t;
 typedef unsigned int __uint32_t;
 #endif
to this:
 #ifndef HAVE_INT32_DEFINED
 typedef int __int32_t;
 #endif
 typedef unsigned int __uint32_t;
At some point we'll come up with a real fix for this. It's on my list
of things to do.
