gmalloc syntax error

I have a sparcstation 20 running solaris 2.3 (not sure what patch version)
The configure program seems to complete ok, but when I do a make (all or install) it fails with the following syntax error:

cc -c  -Demacs -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I/usr/local/src/emacs/emacs-19.26/src  -Xs  -I/usr/openwin/include   -g gmalloc.c
"gmalloc.c", line 1250: syntax error before or at: ptrdiff_t
"gmalloc.c", line 1250: syntax error, probably missing ",", ";" or "="
"gmalloc.c", line 1250: cannot recover from previous errors
cc: acomp failed for gmalloc.c
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `gmalloc.o'
Current working directory /usr/local/src/emacs/emacs-19.26/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `src'


I believe that I am using the SparkWorks Pro package (SUNWspro) version of
cc (not sure of the exact version). In trying to track down this error I tried
 to comment out GNU_MALLOC in config.h (hoping to bypass the whole package) 
but that didn't work either.

I've looked all around and can't seem to find any references to such an
error on Sun/solaris sparcstations. I have previously built version 18.59 on
other machines but this is my first attempt at V19, any help would be greatly
appreciated.
