I don't think that's the problem.  The problem is that the code
uses an expression A->B, where A is of type 'void *'.  The C
standard doesn't allow that.

That command didn't work for me, but I am attaching the output of:

source='b-divvy.c' object='b-divvy.o' libtool=no \
DEPDIR=.deps depmode=none /bin/bash ../build-aux/depcomp \
cc -xc99=all -xc99=all -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../lib  -I'../lib'   -E b-divvy.c |
sed 's/^#/\/\/'

The first problem is in the alloc function.  The expression

( ( divvy -> space ) ) -> temp

is not valid, because divvy->space is of type void *.
