If possible (i.e. you're using a version control system for that
project): start by backing out those 'minor changes', one by one, and
show us the context of the one that triggered the warning.

Hardly a possibility. It's almost impossible for them to start being
broken out of the blue, while still producing valid executables rather
than crashing themselves.

It may very well be that this preprocessor voodoo of yours is the
source of the problem. I think it'll be instructive to check that you
use it 100% correctly. Offhand, e.g., I'd suspect a typo in that
#ifdef: shouldn't it read GLOBALS_*C*, instead of GLOBALS_*G*?
