build with gcc 4.1 snprintf.h error "expected declaration specifiers"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Answering the following questions is a big help:

1. What version of distcc are you using (e.g. "2.7.1")?

building 3.1 from code.google.com/p/distcc

2. What platform are you running on (e.g. "Red Hat 8.0", "HP-UX 11.11")? 
What compilare are you using ("gcc 3.3")?  Run "uname -a" and "cc
--version" to see.

Novell SLES 10, SLED 10
gcc-4.1.2_20070115-0.11

3. What were you trying to do (e.g. "install distcc", "build Mozilla")?

build distcc

4. What went wrong?  

In file included from src/emaillog.c:36:
src/snprintf.h:30: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before
numeric constant
src/snprintf.h:30: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before
'__builtin_object_size'
src/snprintf.h:30: warning: conflicting types for built-in function
'__builtin___snprintf_chk'
src/snprintf.h:37: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before
numeric constant
src/snprintf.h:37: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before
'__builtin_object_size'
src/snprintf.h:37: warning: conflicting types for built-in function
'__builtin___vsnprintf_chk'

5. If you have an example of a compiler invocation that failed, quote it,
in full 

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_GNU_SOURCE -DSYSCONFDIR="\"/etc\""
-DPKGDATADIR="\"/usr/share/distcc\"" -Isrc -I"./src" -I"./lzo" -march=i586
-mtune=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2 -MD -W -Wall
-Wimplicit -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings
-Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs -Wmissing-declarations -Wuninitialized -pthread -o
src/emaillog.o -c src/emaillog.c

this builds fine with openSUSE 11.1 and gcc43-4.3.3_20081022-9.8

thanks for looking into this.
