alright, either there's a bug in djgpp or I'm an idiot... I have 4
files. okay, here's how it's set up, pretty much
file1.c:
...
#include "file1.h"
#include "file2.h"
...
int function(Blah a)
{
	init_location(locations);
	FILE *fp = fopen("file", "rt); /* this is the offending line
according to the compiler... but the error goes away if I comment out
the line above, no I didn't forget the semi-colon. ;) */
...
}
...

file1.h:
...
typedef struct LOCATION		Location;
typedef struct BLAH		Blah;
...
struct LOCATION
{
...
};
struct BLAH
{
...
};
...

file2.c:
...
Location *locations[NUMBER];
...
void init_location(Location *loc[])
{
...
}

file2.h
void init_location(Location *[]);
...
extern Location *locations[];

and I believe that's all that's relevant... I don't see anything wrong
with it... but of course I don't, I wrote it.
