I don't quite know how all the Makefiles and build scripts are set-up, but
just taking a quick look at the relavent bits of code that failed.
832 #if (!defined __GLIBC__) || (__GLIBC__ < 2)
833 int optlen = sizeof(struct ip_options) + MAX_IPOPTLEN;
834 struct ip_options *ipopt = store_malloc(optlen);
835 #else
836 struct ip_opts ipoptblock;
837 struct ip_opts *ipopt = &ipoptblock;
838 int optlen = sizeof(ipoptblock);
839 #endif
The others places are similar in that they have the same
#if
It looks like you "should" according to the assumtions of the code, have
__GLIBC__ defined (probably to 5), but don't. This is info that should
be coming from your C compiler. Unless your Linux system is truly
ancient, I find it hard to imagine that you are using something that
isn't GLIBC 4, 5, or 6.
I know that none of this is of any immediate help, but maybe what
I say will help someone else on the list come up with a more useful
comment (including telling me that I am completely wrong, if I am).

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
