   Compiling xntp on a VAX 5810 works just fine until it gets to xntpd.
Then it tells me:

cd xntpd ; make  xntpd
cc -O -DCONFIG_FILE=\"/usr/local/etc/ntp.conf\"  -I../include -c ntp_config.c
ccom: Error: ../include/ntp.h, line 13: illegal type combination
      typedef signed char s_char;
      --------------------------^
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

   Has anyone seen this before?  I checked out <sys/types.h> and it
already defines s_chr.  Could that be a problem?  Advice and suggestions
welcome.  Thanks.
