A bit more info.

It is not a problem with the gcc version, as the same message comes from 
3.2 and 2.95.

I'm guessing that it emerges from macros expanded through multiple 
layers of expansion.
BLKGETSIZE64 expands to _
IOR(0x12, 114, sizeof(uint64_t))

_IOR expands to
_IOC(_IOC_READ,(type),(nr),(_IOC_TYPECHECK(size)))

and _IOC_TYPECHECK expands to
((sizeof(t) == sizeof(t[1]) && sizeof(t) < (1 << _IOC_SIZEBITS)) ? 
sizeof(t) : __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC)

which is the first hint of a bracket on that line. That's as far as I'm 
going ;-).
