E.g. building on linux:

% gcc -O -I. -DCODECS2HTML codec-cfg.c -o codec-cfg
In file included from codec-cfg.c:28:
config.h:1539: error: conflicting types for `socklen_t'
/usr/include/unistd.h:243: error: previous declaration of `socklen_t'

% gcc -E -O -I. -DCODECS2HTML codec-cfg.c | grep socklen_t
__extension__ typedef unsigned int __socklen_t;
typedef __socklen_t socklen_t;
typedef int socklen_t;

I didn't discover it but tried '#define socklen_t int' instead of typedef.
