   A lot more messages came out, much like the previous ones shown above,
   and the compilation failed.

Hmmm, i can't even formulate a hypothesis on why ‘struct divvy *divvy’
is not considered a pointer to a struct/union by the Sun cc.

Could you please ‘M-x c-macro-expand’ that function and post the results?
