At a wild guess judgeing by the error message i would say that the version
of gcc being used is not compatable for compiling this program.
Check the documentation of ipfwadm and see what compiler is recomended, then
do 'gcc -v' to see what you have.
Another thing which will cause this error is using glibc instead of libc5.
