>Description:
When building security/heimdal package with sunpro compilers, during configure 
stage, the configure scripts checks for presence of vis.h file. I think in this 
context, it's looking for vis.h file that contains prototypes for functions 
that visually encode characters. Solaris does not seem to have vis(), strvis(), 
etc functions, however it has a totally different vis.h file, which is used for 
VIS instruction set on sparc architecture.

The result, configure script incorrectly assumes that the required vis.h file 
is present and leaves it at that. Later on, the package fails to build with the 
following error:

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I guess the real fix is to make configure not just test for presence of vis.h 
file, but also test for certain macros cotained in that file, to make sure it 
is the correct file.

The quick/manual fix would be: after you get 'undefined symbol' errors

cd security/heimdal/work/heimdal-0.6.5/lib/roken
cp vis.hin vis.h

and then restart build process.
