weird problem compiling sac for libc6

[Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au>]

i need sac for libc6 so i can convert my dialin server to hamm without
losing my monthly usage stats scripts , so i decided to recompile it
myself.

i've fixed up a few problems with it (complaints about redefinitions
of things in utmp.h, etc), but am running into a problem which i can't
solve (i'm not a real programmer, i just pretend to be one sometimes).

this code in sac.c


    132 struct user {
    133   char user[UT_NAMESIZE+1];
    134   char line[UT_LINESIZE+1];
    135   char host[UT_HOSTSIZE+1];
    136   time_t in;
    137   struct user *nxt;
    138 } *usr = NULL;
    139
    140 struct tacacs3_utmp {
    141   char ut_line[8];
    142   char ut_user[8];
    143   char ut_host[16];
*   144   time_t ut_time;
    145 } ;
    146
    147 struct tacacs4_utmp {
    148   char ut_line[8];
    149   char ut_user[8];
    150   char ut_host[16];
*   151   time_t ut_time;
    152   char ut_comment[16];
    153 };

(i have marked the error lines with a '*')

produces the following error when i run 'make sac'

root@siva [12:44:06] sac-1.6# make sac

anyone got any idea why gcc is complaining about 'no semicolon at end of
struct or union'?  Why are lines 144 and 151 a problem, but line 136 is
OK?

ps: if i can get this working i'll either make a non-maintainer release or
pass on my fixes to Vincent Renardias. 

pps: i'm working on sac version 1.6.  Vincent's package is 1.5, but it has
exactly the same error (not surprising, it has exactly the same structs)
