OK.

OK.

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;
                ^
