something (I don't know what) is being redefined.  Here's the context for
line 1850:

        cookie *moo;
        int tok_loop;
-->     char *tok_values[] = {domain, what, path, secure, expires_a, name, 
value, NULL};
        char *tok_out, *tok_ptr;

I'd go to ./src and
        make LYCookie.i
and see what's being generated.

The other warnings are from using strsep (since that's not always available,
I ifdef'd the whole chunk of code as a configure option).  But it should
compile and "work".
