The problem is (as others stated) that __u64 is not defined as it should be. A 
quick look in /usr/include/asm/types.h shows:

#if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__)
typedef __signed__ long long __s64;
typedef unsigned long long __u64;
#endif

Obviously __GNUC__ should be defined if you use g++, so the second variable 
causes the trouble. The solution that worked for me: simply remove the 
"-ansi" from the CFLAGS / CXXFLAGS (I just removed it from every Makefile by 
some simple script). That way g++ doesn't seem to define the second variable.

Bye,

Martin
