I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the compiler mis-handles
procedure pointers declared as storage-class register. Although
ANSI-C says essentially that the implementation should 'do the
right thing' and doesn't appear to restrict this storage-class,
(unless you want to (mis-?)interpret a function pointer as an
"identifier for a function" in which case only explicit
storage-class extern is allowed), I'd be reluctant to trust the
portability of source that contained this declaration.
Clearly the error message is bogus, but I'd recommend trying
this trivial fix.
