OK.

OK.

That is promising.

Please do the following.

cd libsrc
make attr.i

Trap the output and send it to us.  This should help us understand why
the make is failing with an error in a system include file:

cc-1084 c89: ERROR File = /usr/include/stddef.h, Line = 37
  The indicated declaration has an invalid combination of type specifiers.

  typedef int   ptrdiff_t;
                ^
