Whether the fourth argument is "struct FTW *" or "struct FTW" depends on compilation defines: #ifdef _INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED /* * Do Mapping of nftw() */ #if (defined(_XPG4_EXTENDED) && !defined(_INCLUDE_HPUX_SOURCE)) || defined(_XOPE N_SOURCE_EXTENDED) inline int nftw(const char *a,int (*b)(const char *, const struct stat *, int, struct FTW *), int c, int d) {return __nftw64(a,b,c,d);} #else /* (defined(_XPG4_EXTENDED) && !defined(_INCLUDE_HPUX_SOURCE)) || defined( _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED) */ inline int nftw(const char *a,int (*b)(const char *, const struct stat *, int, struct FTW), int c, int d) {return __nftw64(a,b,c,d);} #endif /* (defined(_XPG4_EXTENDED) && !defined(_INCLUDE_HPUX_SOURCE)) || defined (_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED) */ #endif /* _INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED */ Sadly, unlink_gcda_file doesn't use this argument. Probably introduced by 2015-02-09 Trevor Saunders <tsaund...@mozilla.com> PR gcov-profile/61889 * config.in: regenerate. * configure.in: Likewise. * configure.ac: Check for ftw.h. * gcov-tool.c: Check for ftw.h before using nftw. and my switch to building with gcc-5. There were numerous successful builds after the above change was applied.
