These two lines look buggy.  The gmacros.h on my system defines these
macros to be empty here.

Make your own copy of the header, point splint at it with suitable -I
switches, and either annotate the macros with /*@notfunction@*/ or put 
them in "#ifndef __LCLINT__" blocks (there is a newer macro for splint
but I forgot its name).

Hope that helps.
