  I'm not sure to understand where the problem is.

  __THROW is meant to be used like this, in a prototype decl:

  void f(void) __TROW;

  but not in a function implementation :

  void f(void) __THROW {
    // some impl
  }

  the former is completely correct and will work as expected. I've not
found an example of a problem caused by that macro, but IMHO it's a
problem in the code you are trying to compile, not because of the macro.
