I find several things confusing in this report:

- why is va_list redefined? To my knowledge, gcc 2.95.2
supports Solaris 2.6 correctly, so it shouldn't provide a
conflicting va_list definition. The typical cause is that
the gcc installation doesn't match the operating system
version (i.e. fixincludes was run for different headers).
Since the gcc installation appears to have been built for
2.6, I infer that the system being used might not be Solaris
2.6.

- All the problems reported are warnings, which don't cause
compilation to fail. What is the actual error (use -w to
suppress all warnings).

Jeff, I don't know if anyone has access to Solaris 5.6.  Can
you provide a patch to get posixmodule to compile?  From the
bug report, I only see warnings, not an actual error which
is breaking the build.
