graphics/gimp) fails as shown below:

I've seen similar failures on MacOS X, but those were usually remedied by
changing the order of #include directives to guarantee that <sys/types.h>
was included before most other headers (usually <dirent.h> or <malloc.h>).

I'll see if anything jumps out at me, but I suspect others are better
attuned to finding and fixing these problems.  This appears to be the
current show-stopper for building the current graphics/gimp on Solaris 9.

Thanks.
