In file included from flash.c:26:

~~To fix the "stray '\' in program" errors, an underscore ( _ ) is used instead. This clears those errors. The "parse error before +" still remains .~~ A fix at the expense of readability was to delete all indents and " \ " characters to form #define SHDR_UNPADDED_SIZE and #define AOUT_UNPADDED_SIZE on single lines.

ic960 ERROR: "../include/qtcommon.h", line 252 -- asm function definition must have a function prototype
flash.c: At top level:

The code in question from qtcommon.h is as follows:

/* ASSEMBLY INLINE */
#ifdef __GNUC__
#   define GASM __asm__ __volatile__
    __inline__ static void
    time( loops )
    {
        int cnt;
        GASM( "mov %1,%0" : "=d"(cnt) : "d"(loops) );
        GASM( "0: cmpdeco 0,%1,%0; bl 0b" : "=d"(cnt) : "0"(cnt) );
    }
#else
    asm
    time(loops)
    {
        %reglit loops; tmpreg cnt; label loop;
        mov     loops, cnt
      loop: cmpdeco 0, cnt, cnt
        bl  loop
        %error;
    }
#endif

line 252 is just after time(loops)

EDIT2: 7-54 of the i960® Processor Compiler User’s Manual explains Inline Assembly Language. Perhaps this could be of use?
