A compiler that refuses to compile that is not a C compiler. K&R2 explicitly
mentions (in A9.1):

    Because labels have their own name space, they do not interfere with
    other iderntifiers and cannot be redeclared.

The ISO standard for C says the same more formally in 6.1.2.3 Name
spaces of identifiers.

I suggest your compiler be fixed. The gcc that comes with 1.4.1 does not
complain about this.
