looks like libsndfile isn't include all the header files tha it needs
to. you'll need to add #include <errno.h> near the top of all files
affected by this type of error (such as libs/libsndfile/src/file_io.c)

this is a "problem" that newer versions of gcc are "flushing out" in
many apps - making it more and more necessary explicitly include every
required header file.
