 Make sure your /usr/include/fcntl.h is identical to
 
 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/8.3/sys/sys/fcntl.h?view=co
 
 I guess you have libc with posix_fallocate() but not declared in fcntl.h
 which can be illustrated as
 
 // test.c: snippet from configure
 #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600
 #include <fcntl.h>
 
 int main()
 {
     posix_fallocate(0, 0, 0);
     return 0;
 }
 
 # if succeeds configure defines HAVE_POSIX_FALLOCATE
 $ gcc46 -Wall test.c
 test.c: In function 'main':
 test.c:7:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'posix_fallocate' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
 
 # but FileUtils.cpp is built with C++ compiler
 $ g++46 -Wall test.c
 test.c: In function 'int main()':
 test.c:7:28: error: 'posix_fallocate' was not declared in this scope
 Exit 1

 an interrupted upgrade left the system in an inconsistent state?
