OK... this is supposed to be simple, but it ain't. I'm attempting to build Perl 5.8.7 on Solaris 10 and it is failing miserably.

If I believe my eyes the include files are all mucked up but I'm not willing to go with that idea just yet.

Here's the environment:
OS:Solaris 10, jumbo patch Generic_118822-20, platform SunFire V220
Compiler:gcc 3.3.2
Just to keep things as simple as possible I've run Config with the default options and specified CC as being "gcc -B/usr/css/bin/". When make is run I get the following spew: 

webdev01(0)# make
`sh  cflags "optimize='-O'" miniperlmain.o`  miniperlmain.c
          CCCMD =  gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/ -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-alia
+sing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BI
+TS=64 -O  -Wall

Dagnabit! Where are all those syntax errors coming from? Is there hope?
