Just to let you know what caused the problem:

I tried to build the Lua package by itself, which fails, but their
support list came through and eventually I found a note
("http://www.sawmill.net/dcforum/DCForumID2/2236.html";) about updating
'gcc' after an OS upgrade (we've recently gone from Solaris 8 to
Solaris 10). One of the files updated was '<sys/types.h>' which has the
defs for the names that were causing my issues.

In case anyone else needs the procedure:

cd <GNUINSTALLDIR>/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.X/X.X.X/install-tools
Add 'SHELL=/bin/sh' to the 'mkheaders.conf' file.
cd <GNUINSTALLDIR>/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.4.6/install-tools
./mkheaders -v

I had previously rebuilt several packages and hadn't had any issues, but
obviously just got lucky.

All is working now.

Thanks again,
Mike
