You have an inconsistent build. ERTS_ALC_T_HIPE gets defined if HiPE
is enabled, and erl_process.h only includes hipe_process.h if HiPE is
enabled. So ERTS_ALC_T_HIPE being undefined there should be impossible.

My guess is that you started with a standard build, which didn't auto-enable
HiPE, and later did a ./configure --enable-hipe; make build in the same source
tree, which apparently failed to regenerate erl_alloc_types.h, leading to the
error. 'make clean' has historically not worked well in the Erlang/OTP sources,
so your best bet is to do the ./configure --enable-hipe; make thing in a
completely fresh source tree.
