This problem is now fixed, it occurs because on Linux 'stdin' and 'stderr' are
defined to be the actual stdin/stderr file pointers and so are not constant, on
other machines there is a per process struct that contains its own pointers to
stdin/stderr, this struct is constant and so the compilation works on other
machines.

The code has been changed so it does not assume that stdin/stderr are constant.
