This worked for me on a vanilla FC5 system. I guess the issue is likely to be realpath, whose definition is enclosed by #if defined __USE_BSD || defined __USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED #endif so I would review the compiler options used: -std=gnu99 is recommended (and selected by default). I do get the warning with -std=c89 and -std=c99. -- Brian D.
