Hi,
    I had the very same problem in intalling emacs 18.53 on Sun OS
3.5.  The problem is that that the two header files pixrect_hs.h and
traprop.h don't conform to the ANSI standard and cpp is unhappy.  To
correct this, copy these files to /usr/local/lib/gcc-include/pixrect
and change :
   
    TRAPROP.H  ==>   TRAPROP_H
    PIXRECT_HS.H ==> PIXRECT_HS_H

It is the .H in the #ifndef that in not ANSI standard.  

Also, in ~/dist-18.53/src/config.h, at the top, include

#ifdef __STDC__
#define CAT(a,b) a ## b
#endif

or use the -traditional option for gcc.

Good luck,
