This error is new to me.

I don't entirely understand this error. The offending lines are:

  typedef ::iovec iovec;
  typedef ::pid_t     pid_t;
  typedef int       sock_t;
  typedef ::socklen_t        socklen_t;

And they are within a class.

What PowerDNS is trying to do here is to 'break out' the local pid_t to the
global pid_t.

Try just removing the lines above in utility.hh, except for the 'sock_t'
one.
