Looks like the compilation was missing or or more include files.  You
might try something along the lines of:

find /usr/include -exec grep -l pipe {} \;

and then examine the "hits" with an editor to find which of the
standard include files contains the declaration for pipe (and the
other missing routines) and go from there.  Do the same for
"STDIN_FILENO" "STDOUT_FILENO" and "STDERR_FILENO" - I suspect you
will find they are all in the same include file.

I've heard that gcc likes to do strange and bizzare things wrt
"preparing" include files.  You might want to consider using another
compiler as a comparison.

Oh, and possibly just a silly question, but the file os.c _is_
including stdio.h right?
