I don't get any such error building on CentOS 6 here. Can you try to
track down this error

to start? For example, do you have a config.h file at the top level of
your build directory? Does it have the symbols _GL_INLINE_HEADER_BEGIN
and _GL_INLINE_HEADER_END defined? Do you possibly have a different
config.h file somewhere else in your build directory or elsewhere in
your include paths?

Also what revision are you building?

  $ hg id
  7c48493d98e1 tip @

And finally note the recommended way to build as described in etc/HACKING is

  ./bootstrap
  mkdir .build
  cd .build
  ../configure
  make
