Assuming you're trying to install GROMACS 4.0.5 (which would have been good to mention), it has a bunch of "restrict" keywords in these arguments. Bizarrely, these are not found in any other GROMACS version, nor in the git repository, so someone did something weird there. Anyway, you can get rid of them by installing GROMACS 4.0.7, which has a bunch of bug fixes anyway...
