problems with FFI including h files

Hi all!
I'm hoping someone with more FFI experience than me (pretty much anyone
who's done anything with FFI) can help me out.
Basically, I'm trying to include an h file and gcc is telling me that
there are parse errors in it. However, when I write a c program that
includes that h file, it don't get such errors. Here is an example C
program:
12:52pm moussor:ATLAS/ cat TestAtlas.c
#include "cblas.h"
int main()
{
double x = cblas_ddot(0,0,0,0,0);
}
And, I can compile it:
1:39pm moussor:ATLAS/ /nfs/isd/hdaume/bin/gcc TestAtlas.c
-B/nfs/isd/hdaume/download/ATLAS
-L/nfs/isd/hdaume/download/ATLAS/lib/SunOS_SunUS2 -llapack -lcblas
-lf77blas -latlas
1:39pm moussor:ATLAS/ ./a.out
1:39pm moussor:ATLAS/
The h file I'm including, "cblas.h" is located in
/nfs/isd/hdaume/download/ATLAS/include and all the libraries are the the
specified lib directory (though those aren't really relevant at this
point).
Moving on to the haskell side of things, I have a module:
1:37pm moussor:~/projects/ cat HBlas/Level1GC2.hs
{-# OPTIONS -#include "cblas.h" #-}
-- run with:
module HBlas.Level1GC2
where
1:41pm moussor:~/projects/
that contains no definitions (obviously my real one has definitions, but
it makes no difference at this point).
so, i try to compile with ghc using:
ghco HBlas/Level1GC2.hs -cpp
-L/nfs/isd/hdaume/download/ATLAS/lib/SunOS_SunUS2 -llapack -lcblas
-lf77blas -latlas -iHBlas -pgmc/nfs/isd/hdaume/bin/gcc
-optc-B/nfs/isd/hdaume/download/ATLAS
so, basically, i'm including the same -L and -B directives to gcc, using
the same version of gcc (3.1), same libraries and everything but now it
complains and says:
Compiling HBlas.Level1GC2 ( HBlas/Level1GC2.hs, HBlas/Level1GC2.sun4.o )

if I look at cblas.h, line 444 is the last line of this definition:
void cblas_sgemm(const enum CBLAS_ORDER Order, const enum CBLAS_TRANSPOSE
TransA,
const enum CBLAS_TRANSPOSE TransB, const int M, const int
N,
const int K, const float alpha, const float *A,
const int lda, const float *B, const int ldb,
const float beta, float *C, const int ldc);
i really have *no* idea what's going on. if i compile the c and the
haskell with -v, the lines leading up to the errors on the haskell side

so yeah, i'm completely at a loss here. i really don't know very much
about gcc and why it would be doing this; i notice there are a few command
line options passed to cc1 in the haskell version that don't exist on the
c side.
to make sure it wasn't a problem with the .hc extension, i renamed
TestAtlas.c to TestAtlas.hc and compiled with "gcc -x c TestAtlas.hc
..." and the rest the same and it still works fine.
please please please help :)
thanks!
