No idea, this is related to/caused by the include files on your
operating system possibly in connection with the exact commandline
Varnish uses to compile the code.

(The latter you can see in the parameter "cc_command")

I doubt it, usually that kind of standards-compliance #defines
only affect what is shown in the #includes, it doesn't change
important things like struct layouts etc.
