With gcc, it compiles with a couple of warnings.  By my reading of
6.10.2, an extra semicolon on a #include directive doesn't even violate
a constraint or syntax rule (but it does have undefined behavior).

The typo "&d" for "%d" doesn't even cause undefined behavior; it just
prints the string literal and ignores the second argument.
