Yes, I suppose so.

Can you just do this change (and other necessary changes if you find
more portability issues), and send us a patch with all fixes together
when MariaDB will finally compile? I will, of course, help you to decide
how to fix every particular problem - just don't hesitate to ask :)

I feel it may be faster and easier than waiting for us to fix every
problem you find one by one.

Sergei
