Since you are looking at the results, you might whack away at the 
Metrowerks errors (see below).

The error "undefined identifier" on an identifier other compilers are 
finding is usually caused by Metrowerks correct implementation of two-phase 
name lookup detecting an error that is slipping by other compilers. The 
usual case I've seen is the need to qualify the name in questions with a 
templated class name (usually a base class name) (with parameters), 
although the problem you seem to be having is sometimes with an enum.

AFAIK, Metrowerks is correct, and the other compilers intend to detect 
these errors in the future.

The fix is usually to add qualification. For example, 
foo::out_of_range_bit.

Hope this helps,
