Oracle 11g and PRO*C : pre-compile errors only with 11g !

Question

Hi !
I didn't find a forum specific to pro*c, so here i am.
I've downloaded Oracle 11g and recompiled our applications using pro*c
We currently precompiling without any problem our sources against Oracle 7, 8, 9, 10.
With Oracle 11g, it doesn't work !
every EXEC SQL followed by a command works.
every EXEC SQL followed by a query generates the same error.
Example :
char *oracle_date_courante()
     static char buf[SIZE_ORADATE+1];
     EXEC SQL SELECT sysdate into :buf from DUAL;
     if(ORA_SQLERROR())
          oracle_error("sélection date courante");
          buf[0]=0;
     return buf;
PRO*C output :
Erreur Ó la ligne 105, colonne 2 dans le fichier src\oracle.pc
EXEC SQL
.1
PLS-S-00000, SQL Statement ignored
erreur sÚmantique Ó la ligne 105, colonne 2, fichier src\oracle.pc:
EXEC SQL
.1
PCC-S-02346, PL/SQL a trouvÚ des erreurs sÚmantiques
So, we investigated... And found that thoses errors come when we use the option sqlcheck=semantics.
If we use an inferiour check level, it works but because we use PL/SQL keywords, pro*c prints errors and wants us to provide the 'semantics' sqlcheck level !
So, it's a vicious circle !
Any ideas ?
Thanks...

Adding the option common_parser=yes removes the errors !
But brings errors linked to the PL/SQL parser such like
CSF-S-00000, ORA-06544: PL/SQL : erreur interne, arguments : [55916], [], [], []
1>, [], [], [], []
1>ORA-06553: PLS-801: erreur interne [55916]
Really vicious..and still not precompiling !
By the way : Server is 10.2.0.1... and i guess thoses errors are normal since the common parser is not available in this version...
So bye bye option common_parser and i'm back to my orignals errors.
