Sounds like you haven't used the gcc shell script 'fixincludes' which
whacks the system header files to make them work with an ansi compiler.

When building R3, most people used -traditional for the server; R4 no
longer needs that flag, except for the system header files (which use
a rather broken mechanism to specify the arguments to ioctl).  Run
fixincludes and rebuild server/ddx/sun, lib/X, clients/xterm and any
other portion you built with gcc and which uses ioctl.

Good luck!
