Which version of gcc are you using ?

unlikely() is an optimization hint to the compiler, telling it that 
the conditional statement in question is expected to be false.

As a hack, you can disable it by including

#define unlikely(x) (x)

in the affected source files. I would suggest upgrading your tools, though.

HTH,
