The `temp' referred to is, of course, entirely in the mind of the
compiler.  I was, however, surprised that PCC emits a warning for
this; it seems to me it should be classified as a compiler error.
Whether the message

	"foo.c", line 27: compiler error: bad arg temp

would be any less confusing is uncertain.
