Daemontools compilation problem on Linux 64 bit system

Recently I was working on evaluating daemontools for some components which need to be run as Linux services and which are to be restarted if they goes down for some reason. I downloaded daemontools and followed the instruction to build it. But it failed with the below error:

./makelib unix.a alloc.o alloc_re.o buffer.o buffer_0.o buffer_1.o \
buffer_2.o buffer_get.o buffer_put.o buffer_read.o buffer_write.o \
coe.o env.o error.o error_str.o fd_copy.o fd_move.o fifo.o lock_ex.o \
lock_exnb.o ndelay_off.o ndelay_on.o open_append.o open_read.o \
open_trunc.o open_write.o openreadclose.o pathexec_env.o \

./load envdir unix.a byte.a
/usr/bin/ld: errno: TLS definition in /lib64/libc.so.6 section .tbss mismatches non-TLS reference in envdir.o
/lib64/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [envdir] Error 1

The problem was solved by including the standard errno.h  header file in error.h (extracted to admin/daemontools-0.76/src/error.h from daemontools-0.76.tar.gz) in the source. And we can use the nice tool without any issue :):)
