I've got a new DBI release out and I'm working on DBD::Oracle now,
before Oracle::OCI because some of the build/link issues also affect
Oracle::OCI. I hope to get a DBD::Oracle release out in a day or so.
Then I hope to get an Oracle::OCI release out a day or two after that.

It is. As far as I can make out restrict is a new ANSI C9X standard
thingy and __restrict is an experimental version of the same.

Here's the patch that I think will workaround it:

diff -c -r1.7 h2xs
*** 1.7	2001/07/08 01:47:27
--- h2xs	2001/08/07 09:54:42
***************
*** 575,580 ****
--- 575,583 ----
  	'add_cppflags' => $addflags, 'c_styles' => [qw(C++ C9X)];
        $c->set('includeDirs' => [@dirs_h,"$Config::Config{archlib}/CORE"]);
  
+       # force addition of __restrict into keywords (asap)
+       $c->get('keywords')->{'__restrict'} = 1;
+ 
        push @$fdecls_parsed, @{ $c->get('parsed_fdecls') };
        push(@$fdecls, @{$c->get('fdecls')});

Let me know if that works for you. Thanks.

Tim.
