As a blind bet, how about using "struct rp_child_info *foo" instead of
"rp_child_info *foo" ? Or a typedef? Probably won't fix it, but still...

By the way, adding a -E to the commandline, and sharing the output might
help - so one can see what the preprocessor made of the sources. The
version of gcc would also help. I couldn't reproduce the problem on
Debian sid neither with gcc 3.x, nor 2.95.
