Only system headers and a little bit of other cruft should have been
included via src/cvs.h and lib/system.h by this point in the compile
process.  Is it possible that something was defined in the ./config.h
created by configure (included from src/cvs.h) that interferes with
your system header in some way, but since this problem has not been
reported before and Solaris is a fairly common platform, I would guess
that your GCC installation is broken somehow.

The best place to start would probably be line 274 of your
/usr/include/sys/stat.h.  There's probably some symbol incorrectly
defined on a preceding line that is causing the error message.  See if
you can figure out how that symbol got defined.  Other avenues to
investigate might be whether you have a sys/stat.h that isn't
protected against double-inclusion or perhaps that requires that some
other header be included first.

Regards,

Derek
