Can't compile perchild.c under Solaris 8

           Summary: Can't compile perchild.c under Solaris 8
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.36
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: perchild
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: apachebugs@louisiana.edu


I've tried using configure with both gcc 2.95.2 and Sun's Forte cc 6.2
compilers, and I
get this sort of compilation failure under Solaris 8 (ultraSparc):

The problem seems to be caused by this Solaris 8 include: sys/socket.h
which contains the following for the msghdr structure:
/*
 * Message header for recvmsg and sendmsg calls.
 */
struct msghdr {
        void            *msg_name;              /* optional address */
        socklen_t       msg_namelen;            /* size of address */
        struct iovec    *msg_iov;               /* scatter/gather array */
        int             msg_iovlen;             /* # elements in msg_iov */

#if defined(_XPG4_2) || defined(_KERNEL)
        void            *msg_control;           /* ancillary data */
        socklen_t       msg_controllen;         /* ancillary data buffer len */
        int             msg_flags;              /* flags on received message */
#else
        caddr_t         msg_accrights;  /* access rights sent/received */
        int             msg_accrightslen;
#endif  /* defined(_XPG4_2) || defined(_KERNEL) */
};



Obviously the posix flag wasn't ever set.  This is an area I don't understand
in Solaris...man standards(5) talks about 6 different levels of posix standards.
Heck, I even retried with the c89 workshop 6.2 compiler, and it barfed over
not recognizing a 64 bit integer could be a long long.  If configure would
produce the proper #define, and include the proper link libs and options to
go with posix compatibility, we could then use gcc or cc (presumably) for the
perchild MPM building...where do I go from here?
