This question is not appropriate for the mailing list gcc@gcc.gnu.org,
which is for the development of gcc itself. It would be appropriate for
the mailing list gcc-h...@gcc.gnu.org. Please take any followups to
gcc-help. Thanks.
This is what gcc refers to as a fixed header. It is a copy of a system
header file which minor edits applied. The real file is (probably)
/usr/include/sys/sysmacros.h. If you look there, you will (probably)
see that major and minor are defined there. That is an issue to be
addressed by whatever package suplied sysmacros.h. It is not gcc.
