Yan,

The problem appears to be that cpl_strtod.cpp is providing a declaration
for nan() that conflicts with the system one.  The code tries to avoid
this by only declaring it if the HAVE_DECL_NAN is unset or zero in
cpl_config.h (as set by configure), but it seems that configure on your
platform has not correctly set this item.

I don't know how to fix configure, but the quick fix for you would be
to edit gdal/port/cpl_config.h and change

#define HAVE_DECL_NAN 0

to

#define HAVE_DECL_NAN 1

I suspect the problem relates to cross compiling, something I have never
tried myself with GDAL.

Best regards,
