I tried building a cygwin version of IceWM, and hit the same problem. 
There's a line of code in there that has the following function call...

     timercmp(timeout, &t->timeout, >)

with a bare less-than sign apparently being passed as the comparison 
function.  I've never seen anything like this.  Is this legal C++?
