Not sure where the definition of "offsetof()" is located but something
seems clearly not C compliant here.
So this is using the Oracle Studio 12.5 compiler tools on a big old
SPARC box running Solaris 10. Any input would be appreciated. The cflags
were permissive and allowed for transition type elements as I note that
C99 with strict compliance will fail horribly. The configure stage was
reasonably clean also.
In any case .. any input would be greatly appreciated.
offsetof() is supposed to be declared in <stddef.h>[1]. Perhaps it
would need a typedef for your system?
hrmmm ... I don't think that is the issue here. Definately have that header and this is a POSIX compliant system for sure. In fact, from my

# Standards, Environments, and Macros fully supported within UNIX
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# This system supports IEEE Std 1003.1 and IEEE Std 1003.2,
# commonly known as POSIX.1 and POSIX.2, respectively.
# Solaris 10 also supports the X/Open Common Applications
# Environment (CAE) Portability Guide Issue 3 (XPG3) and Issue
# 4 (XPG4); Single UNIX Specification (SUS, also known as
# XPG4v2); Single UNIX Specification, Version 2 (SUSv2); and
# Single UNIX Specification, Version 3 (SUSv3). Both XPG4 and
# SUS include Networking Services Issue 4 (XNS4). SUSv2
# includes Networking Services Issue 5 (XNS5).
#
# This is a fully LP64 (64-bit) environment and is fully
# compliant with The Open Group's UNIX 03 Product Standard.
# An application that wants to use standard-conforming utili-
# tues must set the PATH (sh(1) or ksh(1)) or path (csh(1))
# environment variable to specify the directories listed below
# in the order specified to get the appropriate utilities:
#
# POSIX.1-2001, SUSv3
#
# 1. /usr/xpg6/bin
#
# 2. /usr/xpg4/bin
#
# 3. /usr/ccs/bin
#
# 4. /usr/bin
#
# 5. directory containing binaries for your compiler
#
# 6. other directories containing binaries needed by
# the application
#
# When an application uses execlp() or execvp() (see exec(2))
# to execute a shell file, or uses system(3C), the shell used
# to interpret the shell file depends on the standard to which
# the caller conforms.
#
# See full details in standards(5) and at The OPEN Group(tm) or

export PATH
pretty sure I can carve that back to just items 1 to 6 above and use C99 compiler /opt/developerstudio12.5/bin/c99 and cflags options -Xc to be really really strict.
I think the error message is about the use of the "struct" keyword there.

yep .. know it well.
I may just have to change the sources a wee bit and see what happens here. Maybe this is a GCC GNUism that snuck in.
