Compilation issue on Ubuntu

I'm getting the following error when compiling from source:

depbase=echo common.lo | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.lo$||';
/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -I../lib -fPIC -DPIC -D_GNU_SOURCE -g -g -O2 -MT common.lo -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o common.lo common.c &&

common.c:52:22: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
Makefile:434: recipe for target 'common.lo' failed
make[2]: *** [common.lo] Error 1

I'm compiling using the following commands:
./autogen.sh ./configure --with-python3=yes --with-libcap-ng=yes --without-golang --with-io_uring --disable-zos-remote make
I also tried the following, but no go:
./configure --with-python3=yes --enable-gssapi-krb5=yes --with-libcap-ng=yes --without-golang --with-io_uring --disable-zos-remote --without-arm --without-aarch64

It's not clear to me if this is a GCC version (I've tried 8.2, 10.4, 11.2, 12.2) issue, or otherwise a missing library.
Thoughts anyone? I'd appreciate the help.

This appears to be a kernel change that broke user space (based on the suggested change). It would appear AUDIT_MAC_CALIPSO_DEL got renamed to AUDIT_MAC_CALIPSOV4_DEL. I don't see that in my kernel headers so you must be on something very new.

uname -a outputs:

Linux w587_st 4.15.0-230-generic #242~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 30 14:38:50 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

You should look in /usr/include/kernel/audit.h and see if AUDIT_MAC_CALIPSO_DEL exists. The error suggests it was renamed.

I can only see these

I added replacements in lib/msg_typetab.h just to see where the compilation is going to go, or stop at again. Then, I got this

Does this make any sense at all?

The constant #define AUDIT_MAC_CALIPSO_DEL 1419 was introduced in /usr/include/kernel/audit.h in the upstream v4.8 release. However, it appears that your version of the header file has not been updated to include this change. The same applies to other newer fields.

I think that AUDIT_MAC_CALIPSO_DEL was not renamed, instead compiler thinks that you wanted to have AUDIT_MAC_CIPSOV4_DEL because it kinda looks the same. I would report this to Ubuntu/kernel component.
