Summary	05420: pong, pongf: Impossible to compile with an old GCC version.
Description	It's impossible to compile MAME 0.152 with GCC version 4.1.2 Something goes wrong when it tries to compile pong.c, there are some issues with netlist.h.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information	The same incorrect behaviour happened when Pong was reintroduced in MAME .146u1, but Federico Schwindt fixed netlist.h in MAME 0.148u4. Now, the incorrect behaviour, happens again. If you substitute: src/mame/drivers/pong.c src/emu/machine/netlist.c src/emu/machine/netlist.h src/emu/netlist/* from the MAME 0.152 source code with the code from MAME 0.151 everything compiles nicely.

If this is Linux, you might want to post over at the SDLMAME forum: http://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=8 Be sure to mention what OS you are using and why your GCC cannot be upgraded. It's likely the same issue as shown here - Which was resolved shortly after release: http://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=91986#Post91986 Please let us know so this can be resolved.
