Error in compiling gperftools-2.0 on kernel 3.6.6-1 using gcc 4.7.2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have downloaded gperftools-2.0, and it fails to compile on my laptop having 
Arch Linux with kernel 3.6.6-1, using gcc 4.7.2. I did not have any warning 
while ./configure.

Offensive line:

../gperftools-2.0/./src/base/linuxthreads.cc: In function ‘void 
ListerThread(ListerParams*)’:
../gperftools-2.0/./src/base/linuxthreads.cc:312:24: error: invalid conversion 
from ‘void (*)(int, siginfo_t*, void*)’ to ‘void (*)(int, siginfo*, 
void*)’ [-fpermissive]
make: *** [libtcmalloc_la-linuxthreads.lo] Error 1

Please instruct.

Sounds like the signature for siginfo_t has changed. Any idea what it is 
defined as on your system?

the error is due to a change in glibc-2.16+.  fixed in r176.
