I'm beginning to get the answer to my own question here.  Apparently 
there were some changes in the pre-processor following GCC 2.9.6 or 
there abouts.  This is a well reported problem and occurs with 3.4.2 
(which I am using) on all platforms.  It seems to me that currently, 
SWmodule is broken for any version of GCC of 3 and above.

God bless,
Barry
