I had a look at this on my Lion box.
........
In file included from conftest.c:101:
/usr/include/sandbox.h:98:29: error: sandbox/private.h: No such file or directory
........

Indeed sandbox/private.h does not exist.

The offending code looks like this
#ifdef __APPLE_API_PRIVATE
#ifndef _SANDBOX_INTERNAL_
#define _SANDBOX_INDIRECT_
#include <sandbox/private.h>
#undef _SANDBOX_INDIRECT_
#endif
#endif

Now we're not defining __APPLE_API_PRIVATE anywhere.

"gcc -E -dM - < /dev/null" doesn't show __APPLE_API_PRIVATE

Digging deeper, I find it is defined in sys/appleapiopts.h
that sys/types.h pulls in.

The __APPLE_API_PRIVATE (and __APPLE_API_EVOLVING, __APPLE_API_UNSTABLE,
and __APPLE_API_OBSOLETE) are guarded with a
#ifndef __APPLE_API_STRICT_CONFORMANCE
so if we want to quiet down that warning we could define
__APPLE_API_STRICT_CONFORMANCE before testing for sandbox.h
