This is a known issue with newer glibc versions caused by a macro
definition in the Lua scripting engine, which is distributed with the
GenomeTools source. We have already fixed this problem in the current
(unstable) GenomeTools version, but that fix has not made it into a
release yet.
Please get the unstable version from the GenomeTools web site
(http://genometools.org/pub/genometools-unstable.tar.gz) and try again.

Best regards,
S. Steinbiss
