I'll check. Thanks for reporting.

fsync function was added in glibc version 2.8. Try changing it to fdatasync and see if you can build. Also, sorry for the late reply. Am long overdue on my projects.

Just pushed version which allows you to specify with which provider program is to be built. This will allow you to go around this issue if you don't need ThinkPad support.
