The two lines from stdlib which the compiler complains about define
prototypes of `abs' and `labs' functions.  I'm guessing that one of
the headers included before that, or the source before inclusion of
stdlib.h, defined macros or typedefs with the same names.

If you cannot figure this out, invoke the compile with the -save-temps
switch and look at the .ii file: you will see what the compiler gets
in stdlib.h, and I'm sure you will see the reason right away.
