OS: SUNOS 4.1.3_U
OS PATCHES: all security and most other patches installed
MISC: bind 4.9.3 installed
COMPILER: gcc 2.7.2
VERSION: krb5-beta7
The problem is during compilation of the RPC routines. The file netdb.h
gets included from both the rpc include directory and the system
include directory for source files which already include <netdb.h>
(i.e. clnt_generic.c, ...). The <netdb.h> in rpc/types.h picks up
the version of netdb.h in rpc/ and the <netdb.h> in clnt_generic.c
gets it from the system include file directory.
The fix is either to conditionally remove the
#define STRUCT_RPCENT_IN_RPC_NETDB_H
in rpc/types.h, or use
NETDB_H instead of RPC_NETDB_H for the conditional around the netdb.h
include file in the local rpc include directory (may also need to put
a real netdb.h in rpc/).
