Hi Monks!

I am trying to build perl on Solaris 2.8 system from the CPAN source code using gcc 3.3. I executed configure successfully, but when I executed make, it is giving following error.

make: Warning: Both `makefile' and `Makefile' exist
`sh cflags libperl.a miniperlmain.o` miniperlmain.c
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -
D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O
In file included from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:41,
from perl.h:649,
from miniperlmain.c:12:
/usr/include/sys/stream.h:307: error: parse error before "projid_t"
In file included from perl.h:663,
from miniperlmain.c:12:
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:274: error: parse error before "blksize_t"
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:278: error: parse error before '}' token
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:334: error: parse error before "blksize_t"
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:338: error: parse error before '}' token
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `miniperlmain.o'

Any pointers why this is giving such error. However I built perl successfully on HP-UX and Linux system using same source code and using gcc.
Thanks in advance.
