Obviously, there is no occurence of the word "long" in these lines.
Which means some other part of the build process though it as a clever
idea to #define something or other to a token sequence containing the
word "long".  You'll have to compile one case where this error strikes
with the '-save-temps -dD' options added to the gcc command line, and
inspect the resulting *.i file very closely.  That'll show you where
this #define is.
