Error Compiling pro c program in Linux Red Hat machine. Error Code - PCC-S-02014

Question

I am trying to compile proc c program in Red Hat version 8 machine. GCC version is 8.5.0 and my Oracle Client version is 19.0. When I compile the program it gives the below error. Please help. I tried to add parse and did not work.

While compiling the program, I get below error.

System default option values taken from: /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/client_1/precomp/admin/pcscfg.cfg

It looks like the backports for __builtin_dynamic_object_size in glibc missed this commit:

    cdefs: Limit definition of fortification macros
    
    Define the __glibc_fortify and other macros only when __FORTIFY_LEVEL >
    0.  This has the effect of not defining these macros on older C90
    compilers that do not have support for variable length argument lists.
    
    Also trim off the trailing backslashes from the definition of
    __glibc_fortify and __glibc_fortify_n macros.

I reported this as:

• [RHEL-15867] glibc: <sys/cdefs.h> is no longer compatible with C90 compilers

You can report this to Red Hat Customer Support as well, especially if you need a test build with a fix.
