I'm not at all familiar with BeOS, but I do know that __attribute__ is
a GNUism. If you're not using GCC or appropriate headers then that's
probably why it's failing on that. If you put
#define __attribute__(x)
in one of the global headers, or in the expat headers even, that
should solve that problem.
Most contemporary *ix systems seem to have something along the lines
of (taken from Darwin here):
#if !defined(__GNUC__) || __GNUC__ < 2 || \
(__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ < 5)
#define __attribute__(x) /* delete __attribute__ if non-gcc or gcc1 */
#endif
in <sys/cdefs.h> - I suppose that BeOS doesn't have that, hence the
problem.
