I had the same problem, and I cannot understand the
"WARNING" file that supposedly explains what to do
with FIONREAD.
So I compiled it with ordinary cc (SPARC IPX, SunOS4.1.1).
You will need an unprotoizer. I found one, "unproto", at
gatekeeper.dec.com in Volume27 of comp.sources.misc. DO
NOT use the patch in Volume28; it screws it up. unproto
compiles with no problem and produces "cpp". Then, choose
the line in the gnuchess Makefile which uses the Qpath
switch to point to the subdirectory where cpp is.
