"I get lots of errors"

Look again.  I only see 1 error.  I see lots of warnings that can be
ignored.

Your error is
/usr/include/netdb.h(480): error: identifier "restrict" is undefined
  extern int getaddrinfo_a (int __mode, struct gaicb
*__list[__restrict_arr],

On my system __restrict_arr is defined in
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h

There is a bunch of ifdef GNU statements in the above header file.

Keep in mind this is a GNU C header file.

Intel states
"The same C language calling conventions are used and the GNU glibc C
language library is used."

but....  Playing with compiler flags (like -ansi) and -D may lead to
success but I doubt it.

Best recommendation, install the GCC compiler (http://gcc.gnu.org/)
on your system.  Your system should be able to support 2
different/coexisting C/C++ compilers.
