I had exactly the same difficulty. I solved the problem on my machine
by compiling
	~X11R3/server/os/4.2bsd/oscolor.c
with Sun's cc instead of gcc.  That file was the only problem (I did not
attempt to discover why that file has a problem).  The Xsun server now works
like a charm (with a marvelous speedup, I might add).

Details:
	Sun 4/150 (w/ GP2)
	Sun OS 4.0.1
	gcc 1.35 (Sun's as, ld, ar, and ranlib)
	X release 3 (with 10 patches, and the ver. 2 Purdue speedups)

Some of the clients did not compile with gcc, but the failures were
obvious.
