I'm guessing that it is these lines?:

     u_char buf[]; /* reassembled message (C99 flexible array member) */
     ....
     u_char buf[]; /* segment payload (C99 flexible array member) */

My guess is that older gcc is not familiar with this syntax.  If you can't
upgrade your gcc, then you could try changing those lines to say:

     u_char *buf;
