This sits in the include file: We have unconditional declarations
   extern sbsize_t sendfile __((int, int, off_t, bsize_t,
                               const struct iovec *, int));
   extern sbsize_t sendpath __((int, char *, off_t, bsize_t,
                               const struct iovec *, int));

and then later on

#ifdef __STDC__
static sbsize_t sendfile __((int, int, off_t, bsize_t, const struct
iovec *, int));
static sbsize_t sendpath __((int, char *, off_t, bsize_t, const struct
iovec *, int));
...

which I guess is detected as an error by the gcc compiler. There might
be a way of turning this check off, but I can't spot any in my man page
for gcc.

The gcc version might be helpful
