Your program's makefile obviously passes the '--ansi' and/or
'--pedantic' switches to gcc, causing it to complain about the above
things.  Those switches force gcc into strict ANSI compliance mode, and
ANSI doesn't recognize the 'inline' and 'asm' keywords, nor does it
allow zero-sized arrays.

Solution:  remove those switches from the gcc command line.
