I tried to install the Devel::DProf package and during make it failed with:
In file included from /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/sun4-solaris/CORE/per
+l.h:651,
                 from DProf.xs:4:
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:253: parse error before "blksize_t"
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:257: parse error before '}' token
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:313: parse error before "blksize_t"
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:317: parse error before '}' token
make: *** [DProf.o] Error 1

[download]
Basically the stat.h somehow includes the /opt/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/3.1.1/include/sys/types.h which doesn't have the blksize_t declared in it, whereas the /usr/include/sys/types.h does.

What is the correct way to fix this situation please?

Thanks
