Hello!
I’m trying to compile ROOT version 5.12.00f on a x86 Gentoo Linux machine, glibc 2.3.6.
The failure happens with this sympthom:
cint/main/cint_tmp -K -w1 -zipc -ncint/lib/G__c_ipc.c -D__MAKECINT__ -DG__MAKECINT \
-c-2 -Z0 cint/lib/ipc/ipcif.h

It seems it did not find or understand the glibc header (sys/cdefs.h) which defined what __BEGIN_DECLS is (namely, an ‘extern “C” {’ line, or nothing if in C mode). If I used “-p” option, it would succeed with some warning like the following:
Note: Link requested for undefined class timespec (ignore this message) :0:Using cpp instead of cint_tmp, the pre-compilation works fine.
How could I get rid of that error?
