Hi Stephane,

Thanks for the explanation. Building Cilk works on my Ubuntu 12.04LTS (32-bit) machine if I indicate XOPEN_SOURCE and/or POSIX_C_SOURCE when running configure, that is 

./configure CFLAGS="-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L"

After building cilk, I can run "make check" without any errors and also "make install". However, when I then try to compile a .cilk file using: 

cilkc fib.cilk -o fib 

I get the same error as before:

/usr/include/bits/waitstatus.h:76: syntax error

Compilation Failed: 1 error, 0 warnings
Error: failed running cilk2c

I know this may be a noobish question, but I was wondering if you could help me with this issue?

Many thanks and kind regards,

Ben
