 After removing
 
     #include <paths.h>
 
 again (does not exist on Solaris, and mkstemp(3C) mentions only 
 stdlib.h), and changing
 
     strcpy(tempnamebuf, _PATH_TMP "gentoo.XXXXXX");
 
 to
 
     strcpy(tempnamebuf, "gentoo.XXXXXX");
 
 the package did compile. Does paths.h define _PATH_TMP and this provides 
 an appropriate directory for temporary files? The better function in 
 Solaris for this task is tmpfile, but it returns a file handle, not a 
 descriptor. I know no other easy fix than to hardcode "/tmp":
 
     strcpy(tempnamebuf, "/tmp/gentoo.XXXXXX");
