pid_t, uid_t, gid_t compilation issue

I'm trying to build gophervr, but unlike a few months ago when  I last built it the code no longer compiles. Have the system include files changed? Because the error message is:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/martin/aur/gophervr/src/gophervr/gopher/object'

Apparently pid/uid/gid_t are (no longer?) defined in sys/types.h on Arch, so autoconf creates a config.h with those definitions above. However, they don't work for some reason.

I'm not even sure I understand the error messages correctly. So ints are "two or more data types" now?
