Include files on SunOS 4.x.x are broken. One of the first steps in compiling
gcc is to run fix-includes command (I'm not sure if this is the exact name).
That will create those burried include files which will be used by gcc.
If you dont fix your includes, I doubt that gcc itself can be compiled.

SYS5 libraries are for SYS5 compatibility, but I doubt they work well.
On Solaris (which is Sun's SYS5 Unix) you have BSD lib for compatibility,
but that one definitely doesn't work well and should be feared and avoided
at all costs.
