rebless_subclass is a dynop, but in the make it doesn't look like they
got compiled. Which is rather odd... Please can you try with the latest

Well, it's not a syntax error so much, but rather that a C library
wasn't compiled properly (thus it reports a syntax error, but actually
it's because it thinks it's a function call rather than knowing its an
extra op).
Report from latest builds would be most welcome!
