Hi,

I'm trying to build emacs 25.2 with Intel 17.0.2 on CentOS 7.3, but the build is crashing with the following error message:

alloc.c(1383): error: identifier "max_align_t" is undefined
    return (MALLOC_IS_GC_ALIGNED || (intptr_t) p % GCALIGNMENT == 0
            ^

alloc.c(1407): error: identifier "max_align_t" is undefined
    if (! MALLOC_IS_GC_ALIGNED)
          ^

Do you have any idea what might be causing this? I can send you the full build log if it will help.
