Note that if "restrict" turns out to be the problem, one option is to
recognize but ignore the keyword entirely.  Assuming the program being
compiled is written correctly, it won't make any semantic difference
to simply pretend that the "restrict" isn't there:

    The intended use of the restrict qualifier (like the register
    storage class) is to promote optimization, and deleting all
    instances of the qualifier from a conforming program does not
    change its meaning (i.e., observable behavior).
