Build failing on RHEL 5.x

[steevmi1]

Trying to build on RHEL5.x, and compilation fails for async.c:

I'm not able to reproduce this. Here's what mine looks like on a new CentOS 5.8 VM:

gcc -std=gnu99 --std=c89 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/home/vagrant/httpuv/src/libuv/include -I/home/vagrant/httpuv/src/libuv/include/uv-private -I/home/vagrant/httpuv/src/libuv/src -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -O2 -fpic -c src/unix/async.c -o src/unix/async.o

Also:

gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)

R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) -- "Frisbee Sailing"
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit)

I am getting a similar error (RHEL6, and gcc 4.8.1, should this matter)

I am suspecting that the problem is originating from conflicting attempts at setting the C standard. If you pay attention to the call to gcc, you will note that there is -std=gnu99 --std=c89. Only gnu99 should be there (a side note would be that C compilation might only be possible with gcc).

@lgautier Can you tell me how you installed gcc 4.8.1 on RHEL6 so I can attempt to reproduce? Actually, it would be ideal if you could include that information in a new issue, along with a copy/paste of the actual build log. Thanks!
