I just tried it with the current sources but don't see this problem. Are 
the sources up to date? You could try a clean build empty build directory 
in case that helps.

I would guess what it might be is ntohl being defined as a macro somewhere 
else causing the macro to be expanded in the function definition.

If you still have problems, say exactly what changes you made to your 
configuration, e.g. packages added from default, options changed, etc.
