Yes, can you send the sizeof.c and/or the Structs.st file to me?  Both 
can be found in the build directory, the latter is also installed.

For these, can you try evaluating this?  It will produce quite a huge 
output -- I'm interesteed in the lines just around the "Object: nil 
error: did not understand #type"

    Object registerHandler: [ :method :ann |
        method printNl
            rewriteAsCCall: (ann arguments at: 1)
            returning: (ann arguments at: 2)
            args: (ann arguments at: 3) ]
        forPragma: #cCall:returning:args:.
    PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'GTK'!

You mean the filename/line?
