gdb 6.3 build fails on Solaris

[Louis LeBlanc <dev at keyslapper dot net>]

Hey folks.  I'm new on this particular list, but I have tried
searching the archives (and Google) for any solution to my problem.

I've tried building gdb 6.3 on several versions of Solaris, both Intel
and Sparc architectures, and have yet to see it build completely.

On Solaris 8 Sparc, the failure is as follows:

. . .
gcc -c -g -O2     -I. -I../../gdb -I../../gdb/config -DLOCALEDIR="\"/usr/local/share/locale\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../gdb/../include/opcode -I../../gdb/../readline/.. -I../bfd -I../../gdb/../bfd -I../../gdb/../include -I../intl -I../../gdb/../intl  -DMI_OUT=1 -DTUI=1 -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wformat-nonliteral -Wunused-label -Wunused-function ../../gdb/procfs.c

It's slightly different on Solaris 10 Intel:

. . .
gcc -c -g -O2     -I. -I../../gdb -I../../gdb/config -DLOCALEDIR="\"/usr/local/share/locale\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../gdb/../include/opcode -I../../gdb/../readline/.. -I../bfd -I../../gdb/../bfd -I../../gdb/../include -I../intl -I../../gdb/../intl  -DMI_OUT=1 -DTUI=1 -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wformat-nonliteral -Wunused-label -Wunused-function ../../gdb/tui/tui.c
In file included from ../../gdb/tui/tui.c:48:
/usr/include/term.h:1060: error: parse error before "SGTTY"
/usr/include/term.h:1120: error: parse error before '}' token

Normally, I just try to find OS specific build information, but there
are absolutely no details regarding Solaris that I can find on the gdb
site.  I have tried both the 6.3 release and various daily snapshots
since the release, but have never gotten a successful build.  Can
anyone shed some light for me?

Thanks in advance
Lou
