Your stropts.h (where this macro is supposed to be defined) is broken or bogus.

Probably the latter since at my machine (Ubuntu 22.04), it's missing altogether and online search shows that it's not supposed to be present in Linux.

Check if you have such a file outside of the compiler's toolchain but on the compiler's search path (e.g. in /usr/local).

I find it. but /usr/include/stropts.h is an empty file, with 0 size.

Delete it.

Delete it.

Just in case, you can use dpkg -S <full path> to check if this file belongs to any package (see https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/equivalent-of-rpm-qf-command/).

As I thought, looks like an accidentally created bogus file, should be safe to delete.

yes, you are right.
