OK, I found it; <X11/Xlib.h> does this.  There is a special
<X11/Xwindows.h> header which is supposed to be used within XWin sources
to prevent these problems, but one file wasn't using it.  Both gcc3 and
gcc4 therefore saw "DWORD Status;" as "unsigned long int;", but only
gcc4 is strict enough to not allow it.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the noise.
