 I think that you have identified some critical things here. During the
last stages of compilation, I see gcc complaining about BSD being
redefined, when it is compiling some of those sun execed(?) routines.
Tonight, I will go throgh the compilation again, and hunt it. Looks like we
are getting very very close.

 Thanks. I'll report tommorow what happens.
