I think it is very unlikely these problems are related.

Could you cd to src/defobj, delete DefClass.lo, and then run:

   make OBJC="gcc -S" DefClass.lo

and then send me the DefClass.s?  That might be sufficient information
to figure out the assembler bug or the problematic construct in
DefClass.m.

MV> H5private.h:497: parse error before `__extension__'

This line is a (re)declaration of strdup.  Newer versions of glibc
make strdup a macro, and that would probably explain the error.  
Try commenting-out the "extern char *strdup(const char *s);" line
on line 497 of H5private.h.
