So this looks like the root problem.

Note how what is surely a gentoo system header seems to include an asterisk
header. /usr/include/gentoo-multilib/amd64/bits/string2.h seems to include
/usr/include/asterisk/endian.h.

This surely was not intended. Most likely there are two headers on the system
both called endian.h, and the wrong one is picked up.

This is probably a typedef that is missing due to not including the right
endian.h.

You may have to fix the asterisk and/or chan_ss7 to workaround this.

Maybe remove the -I/usr/include/asterisk from the Makefile, and then change
any includes that need it from #include <FOO.h> to #include <asterisk/FOO.h>.
This should make it so that the wrong endian.h cannot be picked up by mistake.

Or some similar fix to remove the problem.

Hope this helps,
