I try to port a Linux program to DOS using DJGPP. I got quite far, but
now I stumbled over these templates:

namespace misc {

template <class T> inline T min (T a, T b) { return a < b ? a : b; }
template <class T> inline T max (T a, T b) { return a > b ? a : b; }

template <class T> inline T min (T a, T b, T c)
{
   return (min (a, min (b, c)));
}
template <class T> inline T max (T a, T b, T c)
{
   return (max (a, max (b, c)));
}

This results in the following error for each template line:
35:31: error: expected ')' before 'a'

Position 31 is just before the min or max.

I am using gcc/gpp 453.

What can I do to to avoid this error? The first two min/max templates
are used many times within the package I try to port.
