There is an extension to the c-language that is supposed to be supported by 
all gcc targets. The idea is to support functions inside functions so that 
e.g. something like

int 
foo3 ( int func(int), int a)
{ return a + a * func (27);
}
 
void
foo (int a, int b)
{
     int
     foo2 (int c)
     { return c + b;
      }

     return foo3 (&foo2, a);
}

is considered to be legal code for gcc. The avr port does presently lack 
support for this extension.
