Why are you bothering with 7.0.3? That's two major versions back
(almost three, in fact). Use 7.2.2 if you want a stable release,
or 7.3 beta if you are experimenting.

This looks like your compiler does not understand "volatile".
While a compiler update might be appropriate too, I would have
thought that "configure" would catch this. Did you run configure
for this platform?
