compile error on centos?

Hi,
been trying to compile latest git version 20141122 (today) using the following commands:

./configure --release --prefix=/usr --disable-libav
make && make install

I get the following error:

CC              src/uuid.o
src/uuid.c: In function ‘uuid_init’:
src/uuid.c:97: error: ‘O_CLOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
src/uuid.c:97: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
src/uuid.c:97: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [/opt/src/tvheadend/tvheadend.20141122/build.linux/src/uuid.o] Error 1

any hints?
really looking forward to update my currently installed version

A quick google suggests that this was a problem a couple of years ago on old kernels - O_CLOEXEC was introduced in kernel 2.6.23 but CentOS didn't have that kernel at that time.

What version of CentOS, what does uname -a report as a kernel version?

Thanks for looking over my shoulder

Linux development.xyz.lan 2.6.32.26-175.timb1.i686 #1 SMP Wed Jan 19 22:50:45 GMT 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Hmmm - kernel version suggests 'yes', build warning says 'no'... but that still sounds like the problem.

All I can suggest is Googling around at the variosu CentOS-related patches that are out there - #define-ing O_CLOEXEC to NOOP and similar. Damned if I can tell you what the implications are, though... or get a new kernel, 2.6.anything is looking a little old now.
