Himanshu, 

     There is nothing wrong with the code you were trying to compile. The 
     xlc compiler for this version AIX (3.1 [30003]) seems to have a bug.
     The previous versions of the cc compiler under AIX 3.1 (version 30001 
     and 30002) work fine. So, if you have access to those old copies of
     cc you may want to use them to generate the object file. 

     The other way around this bug, is to try to split your *.c file into 
     smaller files (you may want to break it by group of functions/procedures) 
     in order to reduce the complexity of the current .c file you are trying 
     to compile and recompile them separately. 


Hope this helps
