Huh ... did you compile directly from the 1.6 tarball?  I ask because that
line does not appear in the distributed sbr/dtimep.c.

sbr/dtimep.c is generated by lex/flex from sbr/dtimep.l, but the
distribution ships with a pre-generated dtimep.c so you shouldn't need
to run lex/flex unless something unusual is happening.  Judging by the
above error, your dtimep.c contains a C99-style comment line (//) and
your compiler doesn't support that, but I don't really know how that could
have happened unless you rebuilt the distribution.
