As a data point, I can't get this newer version of binutils to grok
that file, either:

$ i386-win32-windmc winevent.mc
In winevent.mc at line 1: parser: syntax error.
In winevent.mc at line 1: fatal: syntax error.

$ i386-win32-windmc --version
GNU windmc (GNU Binutils) 2.20.1.20100303

(from the i386-win32-binutils package in fink, which might not be
fully compatible with the mingw-binutils package - I'm just trying to
find a lower bound on the required version of binutils for
cross-compiling.)

I'll try to add some debugging statements to the parser, but it looks
syntactically correct according to the yacc grammar.
