Building shared Andrew libraries is as easy as adding '-fpic' to
CFLAGS and '--shared' to the link command. However, there is no
distribution of ELF X libraries yet, so Andrew wouldn't be very
useful.

I think, /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h is the problem:
[...]
#if __GNUC__ < 2 || (__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ < 5) ||
defined(__cplusplus)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
/* Old GCC way. */
#ifndef __CONSTVALUE
#define __CONSTVALUE __const__
#define __CONSTVALUE2
#endif
#ifndef __NORETURN
#define __NORETURN __volatile__
#define __NORETURN2
#endif
#else
/* New GCC way. */
[...]
Maybe the underlined __cplusplus causes the problems.
Bernhard.
