I'm guessing here but it looks like the 4th, 5th 6th and 7th defines in 
the command line are causing trouble. Indeed they are not identifiers as 
such, they are just strings. One thing that looks odd is the single 
quote '' instead of the more commonly used "". Without knowing what that 
particular combo of gcc and shell most enjoys, I would change that and 
see what happens next.
