If you add
-xc99=%all
to your CFLAGS, does that help?
Apart from that, NEVER edit the files that are delivered under
/usr/include - they're written as they are for a collection of
reasons, and it's my experience (over many OSen) that if you think
there's a problem in /usr/include, then 999 times out of 1000
you're actually wrong :-)
