Just to throw my $0.02 in I am running into the same problem. I take the current work around is to just use 3.12.4
Here too, running emacs-cvs. 3.12.4 still works.
I cannot duplicate the error. Could you show me your config.log?
I'm having the same problem described here, but with gnuserv-3.12.7 The following are the last lines in the compile process: gcc -c -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer gnuclient.c emacs --no-site-file -batch \ --eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \".\")" \ -f batch-byte-compile gnuserv-compat.el In file included from gnuclient.c:61: ./sysfile.h:395: error: conflicting types for 'strerror' /usr/include/string.h:256: error: previous declaration of 'strerror' was here ./sysfile.h:395: error: conflicting types for 'strerror' /usr/include/string.h:256: error: previous declaration of 'strerror' was here make: *** [gnuclient.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Wrote /var/tmp/portage/gnuserv-3.12.7/work/gnuserv-3.12.7/gnuserv-compat.elc Done
The problem here is that it doesn't seem HAVE_STRERROR is defined on some system (including yours). sysfile.h contains #ifndef HAVE_STRERROR /* X11R6 defines strerror as a macro */ # ifdef strerror # undef strerror # endif const char *strerror (int); #endif and so if HAVE_STRERROR is correctly defined on your system, you will not experience this bug (and I don't have this problem at all). This is why I'm asking your config.log.
Created attachment 56184 [details] config.log of gnuserv Here I attach the config.log
Looks like you have incorrect CPPFLAGS. Did you set it by hand or in /etc/make.conf? If so, please unset CPPFLAGS and try again. The output of `emerge --info -v` would also be helpful.
Created attachment 56190 [details] output of emerge --info -v Extrange thing, because I don't have CPPFLAGS set in make.conf nor as an enviromental variable in my shell. CXXFLAGS is the same as CFLAGS. Interesting... if I use: env CPPFLAGS="" emerge gnuserv i get the folowing output: gcc -c -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer gnuclient.c emacs --no-site-file -batch \ --eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \".\")" \ -f batch-byte-compile gnuserv-compat.el Wrote /var/tmp/portage/gnuserv-3.12.7/work/gnuserv-3.12.7/gnuserv-compat.elc Done emacs --no-site-file -batch \ --eval "(add-to-list 'load-path \".\")" \ -l gnuserv-compat -f batch-byte-compile gnuserv.el While compiling gnuserv-edit-files in file /var/tmp/portage/gnuserv-3.12.7/work/gnuserv-3.12.7/gnuserv.el: ** reference to free variable current-menubar While compiling gnuserv-buffer-done-1 in file /var/tmp/portage/gnuserv-3.12.7/work/gnuserv-3.12.7/gnuserv.el: ** reference to free variable current-menubar While compiling gnuserv-prepare-shutdown in file /var/tmp/portage/gnuserv-3.12.7/work/gnuserv-3.12.7/gnuserv.el: ** assignment to free variable allow-deletion-of-last-visible-frame While compiling gnuserv-start-1 in file /var/tmp/portage/gnuserv-3.12.7/work/gnuserv-3.12.7/gnuserv.el: ** assignment to free variable allow-deletion-of-last-visible-frame While compiling the end of the data in file /var/tmp/portage/gnuserv-3.12.7/work/gnuserv-3.12.7/gnuserv.el: ** The following functions are not known to be defined: make-gtk-device, make-mswindows-device, set-buffer-menubar, add-menu-button, delete-menu-item Wrote /var/tmp/portage/gnuserv-3.12.7/work/gnuserv-3.12.7/gnuserv.elc Done emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile devices.el In file included from gnuclient.c:61: ./sysfile.h:395: error: conflicting types for 'strerror' /usr/include/string.h:256: error: previous declaration of 'strerror' was here ./sysfile.h:395: error: conflicting types for 'strerror' /usr/include/string.h:256: error: previous declaration of 'strerror' was here make: *** [gnuclient.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Humm.... Can you compile >=gnuserv-3.12.5 manually, and attach config.log of it? What is broken on your system is that gnuserv configure script adds "-I" before your ${CFLAGS} (See gcc -c -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer gnuclient.c), and it breaks nearly everything. As I see your config.log, even glibc is marked as invalid. I thought it was caused by invalid ${CPPFLAGS} because ${CPPFLAGS} is just in between ${DEFS} (=-DHAVE_CONFIG_H) and ${CFLAGS} (=-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer) but that was not correct.
Created attachment 56195 [details] config.log of manually "compiled" gnuserv The manual compilation also failed... can it be related to the different automake or autoconf that are present in the system?
*** Bug 89150 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I tracked down the problem and fixed it in CVS. (we need to pass --x-includes and --x-libraries :() Thanks for your feedback.
Worked! thanks to you for your effort.
