it's surprising for me, too.

Apparently `syslog', the function, is defined in both, <syslog.h> and
<bits/syslog.h>. The latter doesn't even exist on systems I've checked
so far..

There is no such redefinition within collectd, and if I interpret the
error correctly the redefinition is in <bits/syslog.h>.. Which version
of the GNU libc did you upgrade to?

Thanks for the report, I'll see if I can reproduce the bug and find a
fix for it.

Thanks for the hint, I'll fix that as soon as I get home :)
