This is to be expected. '-' is not a legal character for an identifier
in C.

Check what the macro is doing - it  is  constructing  cmd_tbl_t  type
variable  names  which  are  concatenated  from  the  constant string
"__u_boot_cmd_" and  your  command  name.  This  requires  that  your
command name must consist only of valid C identifier characters.

 The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.
