That won't work, because it is syntactically incorrect,
and also this is not a place to document how to write
bash command lone.

Can you just make the patch smaller with
-fatal(mes)
+int fatal(mes)
which looks much better.

Read the gcc manpage.

Usually Anything more than -O2 has problems on some
architectures, and it is not advisable to use anything more than
-O2 unless you know what you are doing.

Please do.
Reducing the -Wall warnings, and other things will
benefit everyone.
