Nitin,
I found a clue by doing a google search for the error message
combined with the unique part of the error source.  i.e.
searching for
    .def _long int  "Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is"
pulled up
   http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-06/msg00708.html
which totally describes your problem, I think!  It also
suggests a workaround (a small patch to gcc/gcc/cp/decl.c).
Good luck,
Dan
