You're making progress.  You compiler is on the old side, but the
problem is more in the header files.  The good news is that the fix is
easy (I think).  Add the following three lines before the last non-empty
line in file src/system.h

#ifndef	__attribute__
#define	__attribute__(x)
#endif

There may well be additional problems, but this should get you a bit
further.  Assuming there are additional messages, post the first 10 or
15 error messages.  We'll address the problems one (or two) at a time.
