The problem is pretty clear.  From the gcc info manual for the description of the
-traditional option:

        * The newer keywords `typeof', `inline', `signed', `const' and
          `volatile' are not recognized.  (You can still use the
          alternative keywords such as `__typeof__', `__inline__', and
          so on.)

Therefore, the parse error before const is because recognition of cost is turned
off with the -traditional option.  Remove this option and you likely will be
fine.
