The change is in the definition of a macro.  The compiler won't help you
in this case unless the macro is actually used in code that is compiled.
Find the uses and check for any nearby ifdefs.  For file foo.c you can
also do make foo.i to see the result of reducing ifdef and expanding
macros.  Then you can see if the code you changed is actually included in
the build.
