External poll still failing to build.

[Tony Shadwick]

Here's what the top of my poll.c file looks like right now:

[erwin:local/src/spamass-milter-0.1.3a] numbski# less poll.c
#include <stdlib.h>

/* Included because MacOS X apparently chokes without them.
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>


#include <sys/select.h>

#include "subst_poll.h"

/* This function pulled from Markus Gutschke's "wy60" package */

/* $Id: poll.c,v 1.2 2003/03/06 21:40:49 dnelson Exp $ */


When I ./configure, it goes through smoothly, then I type make.  It
insists on re-configuring, which puzzles me, but no harm seems to be done.
Then it fails out like so:

config.status: creating config.h
make  all-am

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.     -g -O2  -c `test -f 'poll.c' || echo

I have to assume that this isn't normal behavior.  Knowing what little I
do about programming outside of PERL, it seems like some variable isn't
being explicitly defined early on in poll.c.  Any chance someone could
take a look?
