Actually, this is a system bug, seeing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233934 .
And the "expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘__u32’" was fixed by RedHat 5.1 and later. (RedHat is similar with CentOS.)

Uhm... the bug is pretty old (2007) so I assume we can ignore this unless the fix is easy and you're willing to make a PR. Up to you.
