[Aurora-sparc-user] Compilation issues

[Joe Hartley]

I'm trying to build a new version of qpopper that supports encryption
for my Aurora 2.0 server, but am running into an issue.

[root at zappa qpopper4.0.9]# sparc32bash
[root at zappa qpopper4.0.9]# ../configure --with-openssl
          * * * snip * * *
checking fcntl.h usability... no
checking fcntl.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: fcntl.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: fcntl.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: fcntl.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to bug-autoconf at gnu.org. ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
checking for fcntl.h... yes

There are a lot of these warning during the configure phase, and while
a makefile is produced, the make fails:

[root at zappa qpopper4.0.9]# make

Has anyone run into this before??  I can't believe the system header files
(/usr/include/stdlib.h, fer cryin' out loud) have syntax errors.  Is it
autoconf that's messed up?  cpp? gcc? configure?

Thanks for any pointers y'all can toss my way.
