I recently ported X11 to A/UX and to UniPlus+, both SysV-derived
systems.  I got this same error on a few files.  In each case I was
able to get around the problem by breaking the file up into two or
three smaller ones.  You might also try getting rid of any includes
that are not used -- for instance, there's at least one file in
X11r1 that includes stdio.h but doesn't use it, and stdio.h is >huge<.

P.S. Don't bother asking how you can obtain the A/UX port I did.
I don't work for UniSoft any more, and I doubt they will be selling
it anytime in the near future.  On the other hand, if you want to
hire me to do a similar port for you, drop me a line...
