error compiling virtuoso stable 7.2.14 on CentOS 7 with gcc 8.3

Hello,

compiling virtuoso stable 7.2.14 on CentOS 7 with gcc 8.3 [from SCL] produces error:

In file included from /usr/include/string.h:633,
                 from isql_log_normalize.c:26:
isql_log_normalize.c:59:7: error: expected identifier or '(' before '__extension__'
 char *strdup(const char *s);
       ^~~~~~

Any workaround ?

thanks

Can you show me what CFLAGS you are using to compile ?

I started using -O2 -m64, as suggested. Then also tried adding -fpermissive or -std=gnu89, but neither work. Also tried with gcc 9.3.1, without success.

thanks
