Try removing compile flags -Werror, -pedantic, and -ansi if used, and
add -std=c89 to see if that eliminates compile failures. 
The first option mentioned changes all warnings into errors, so all
warning options used e.g. -W... increase the likelihood of compile
failures. 
If the code is not GCC clean, you will get some or evan a lot of
warnings, but unless the code is really bad, as in causing undefined
behaviour, you should not get compilation failures.
