I have some trouble compiling emacs 18.59 for a Sun Sparc 2 
under Solaris (4.1.2 I think). I tried some setups but started
with s-sol2.h and m-sparc.h which seems a natural choice. 

First a installed gcc 2.3 and used it for compilation of emacs.
I selected HAVE_X_WINDOWS and HAVE_X_MENUS, defined the environ
ment variables EMACS, BUILD and CC (gcc). Compilation failed 
when I reached scroll.c: It includes an include file and this include 
file includes an include file and ... includes stream.h
(the fixed one!).  It did not understand caddr_t and a lot 
of parse and syntax errors followed. Also with the regular cc 
compiler it failed on the same file. However when I compiled it 
by hand without the -Demacs option it succeeded. I had to do this 
for some other files but then it really failed and I had to do 
something else.

Then I tried s-sunos-1.h and gcc and compilation succeeded (apart from
the stream.h problems) but the compiled version did not have the 
features of 18.59 (no scroll bar, multiple buffers in Xwindows, etc)

Does somebody recognise these inconveniences and how do we get rid 
of them?
