Successful Solaris 2.6 Compile???

[Michael D. Marchionna]

It generally compiles fine, but depending on what compiler you
are using a environment settings you can pull in the ucblib version
of dirent.h instead of the SYSV version.  One way to check is
to compile the problem source file with -E and redirect the
output to a file.  The look through the file to see which header files
are being included.  Generally if you have gcc installed you won't
run into this.  If you are using /usr/ucb/cc then you may have problems.
