Something is screwy here.

Top-level 'if' statements are evaluated at compile time.  This lets  
us conditionalize the code for different run times, etc.

It appears that the compiler has come across a top-level if of the form:

  if (1) { ... }

and it is complaining.  Have you edited the source at all?

[I suppose this should not be a fatal error -- it should just emit  
the conditional.  But for our purposes it means that the compiler  
couldn't do what you wanted.]

(sorry about the frustration level.  not many people outside our  
group actually do source development, so the doc there is a little  
thin.  and, we are trying to shortcut the process here.)
