In src/proto.h there already is a workaround for this. Adjusting the
#ifdef should work. Is FEAT_BEVAL defined in your case? Perhaps it
should not be.

I'm puzzeled by how you can compile Vim with GTK while NO_X11_INCLUDES
is defined. What are you using for building? Is this already in
src/INSTALLmac.txt? If not, can you add it?
