Problems compiling MH on hamm system

[ken@efficient.com]

Hello Debian team,

I'm having some trouble compiling the mh_6.8.4-14 source package on my hamm
system.  After extracting the source using dpkg-source, and configuring
as described in the mh_6.8.4/READ-ME file, I get the following when doing
the make:

leisure# make
for d in config sbr mts zotnet uip support doc; do (cd $d; make DESTDIR=  -k all); done
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/mh-6.8.4/config'

make[1]: *** [config.o] Error 1

...and so on...

The problem seems to be with the following code in /usr/include/sys/types.h:

/* For GCC 2.7 and later, we can use specific type-size attributes.  */
#define __intN_t(N, MODE) \
  typedef int int##N##_t __attribute__ ((__mode__ (MODE)))
#define __u_intN_t(N, MODE) \
  typedef unsigned int u_int##N##_t __attribute__ ((__mode__ (MODE)))

__intN_t (8, __QI__);


I'm not sure what the problem is.  Can anyone help?

Thanks.
