Perhaps you need to upgrade to SunOS 4.0.1, if you haven't already.
I'm just in the process of building gcc for Sun3-OS3.5 and
Sun4-OS4.0.1 and both have succeeded in compiling correctly. At least
they compile themselves (stage1 and stage2) without any errors, and a
simple hello world program.  I'm using gcc 1.34 which I just snagged
last week.

However, I can't get gnu emacs to compile using gcc on the Sun3-OS3.5
(haven't yet tried the Sun4).  The make will spit out many warnings
(some function was declared implicitly 'extern' then later declared
'static') but these are not fatal.

Then I get warnings of garbage at the end of #ifndef's of the
following files when it compiles src/sunfns.c:

/usr/include/pixrect/pixrect_hs.h (line 11)
/usr/include/pixrect/traprop.h    (line 7)

Then the fatal error occurs:

/usr/include/sundev/vuid_event.h:39:unterminated character constant

which is a line inside a commented #ifdef.  The only funky word on
that line is "don't".  Could the "'" be screwing things up.
Admittedly I haven't hack on this much (it just happened as I was
reading the original article :-) but I figured, kill two birds with
one stone, so to speak.  Any ideas?
