More likely, 'restrict' is not defined, or is defined to an unsupported value.
Cf. [1][2]

With gnulib, 'restrict' ought to be defined by config.h. Maybe you have several
config.h files, and one of them defines 'restrict' but not the others? Or maybe
the compilation unit that you are compiling does not start with
"#include <config.h>"?
