I don't get that error when building time-1.7 on Solaris 2.8.
Here's what I get:

gcc -c -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_WAIT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 
-DRETSIGTYPE=void -DHAVE_TIMEVAL=1 -DHAVE_VPRINTF=1 -DHAVE_WAIT3=1 
-DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DHAVE_GETPAGESIZE=1  -I. -I..   -g -O ../time.c
../time.c: In function `main':
../time.c:633: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'

My invocation of GCC defines HAVE_WAIT3 but yours does not.  This is
odd, since the C library defines wait3 in Solaris 8.  You might want
to see why that is occurring on your box, as that is what is causing
your problem.  You can work around the problem by hand by putting
-DHAVE_WAIT3 in your Makefile.

If it matters, I'm using GCC 2.95.3 on Solaris 8 01/01 with all the
recommended Solaris 8 patches.
