This sounds like it needs something added in Etc/MACHINES.

As I said yesterday, I had no problem at all with SunOS 5.8 with gcc with
the default configuration.  I was using gcc 2.95.2.  It could be another
manifestation of the problems with warnings in headers, but there are still
some odd things going on.

You should have

#define HAVE_STRUCT_TIMEZONE 1

which avoids this.  struct timezone is defined in sys/time.h:

#if (!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)) || \
        defined(__EXTENSIONS__)
#ifndef _ASM
struct timezone {
        int     tz_minuteswest; /* minutes west of Greenwich */
        int     tz_dsttime;     /* type of dst correction */
};

#endif  /* _ASM */
#endif  /* (!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE))... */

That means HAVE_TERMIO_H isn't being defined as it should be.

This is very suspicious --- this should be defined by configure in
config.h.  It should default to 50.

That means RETSIGTYPE isn't being defined properly in config.h.  It ought
to be `void'.
