Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the
C++ standard. Examples include substituting the <X> header for the <X.h>
header for C++ includes, or <sstream> instead of the deprecated header
<strstream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.

I ran into the same problem while trying to install gnome-terminal.
The errors seemed to stem from two main problems:
1. On line 42, a data type u_int32_t is used that Solaris does not
have in <sys/types.h>.  We do have uint32_t, and unsigned long,
however, the latter of which I used in a typedef statement
2. On line 132, what I assume is either a reserved work, and a
#define'd word, "sun", was used.  Replace that with dsun

By doing #1 and #2, Client.c++ compiled.
