There is a micmac in the src/runtime/config.h file. Comment out (or fix) the
definition of bcopy :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#ifdef HAS_MEMMOVE
#define bcopy(src,dst,len) memmove((dst), (src), (len))
#else
#ifdef HAS_BCOPY
/* Nothing to do */
#else
#ifdef HAS_MEMCPY
#define bcopy(src,dst,len) memcpy((dst), (src), (len))
#else
#define bcopy(src,dst,len) memmov((dst), (src), (len))
#define USING_MEMMOV
#endif
#endif
#endif
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Linux bcopy is already defined and the redefinition above triggers this
(strange) error when HAS_MEMMOVE is set.
You will encounter another problem later when compiling libunix related to
errno which is a macro and no longer an external variable. The fix for this
is to remove all declarations "extern int errno" in libunix/*.c files and add
"#include <errno.h>" when not already present.
