The warning, converted to an error due to -Werror, means that the macro
calls the function __sysconf, and that function is not declared.
Your test case works fine on my Ubuntu Lucid system. To figure out what
is happening on your system, you need to look at the definition of NBPG.
I don't know why it is calling __sysconf rather than sysconf. sysconf
is declared in <unistd.h>. I don't know where __sysconf is declared.
You could try simply grepping in /usr/include.
