Actually, I told those things at the end of previous message:

I think the beginning of output was quite normal and I already showed
the first error message (or WARNING), but I send the whole output here

I'm not absolutely sure that my compiler is installed correctly, but I
can list easily over 100 open source packages that I have build and
installed from the source tarballs without problems. Then there are
problems with some few old (project) packages and I am wondering if
those problems depend on it that all old projects are not comform to
C99 and how include files should be located in source code. But I can
be wrong.
