trying to compile vdr 1.3.35 on my SuSE 8.1 system, I get the following message:

tools.c:872: warning: posix_fadvise is not implemented and will always fail

The system is running kernel 2.4.32rc1, glibc 2.2.5, gcc 3.2

What are the min. requirements to make this work?

You don't have to worry about this message - everthing will work as before even with this warning. You just don't get the extra feature of not trashing your buffer caches when recording a movie or when viewing a stored one.

To have an advantage of this new feature you will have to get a newer glibc and maybe a newer kernel. But sorry - no idea when they started to fully support posix_fadvise().
