The files src/{emacs,filelock,doc}.c of emacs version 18.55 will not compile on
an Alliant. The reason is that the file <sys/parameter.h>, included by
<sys/file.h>, defines the macro NULL with a value of zero, breaking the NULL
macro defined in "lisp.h".

The remedy is to include <sys/file.h> before "lisp.h" as shown by the following
context diffs:
