   gcc is unhappy because it hasn't seen any declaration for strdup, and
   later fdopen, strcasecmp, etc.  All the other complaints follow from
   that.
   
   Either Solaris 2.6 has incredibly brain-damaged system include files,
   or (more likely) you have a misconfigured gcc that is not reading the
   correct version of <stdio.h>, <string.h>, etc.  One way that that can
   happen is if you try to copy a gcc installation from another system
   rather than configuring and compiling it on exactly the target system.
   (gcc tends to like to make "patched" copies of some of the system
   include files, and if those don't match up with the real ones you are
   in deep trouble.)
   
   Surely libpq is not the only area where things are failing to build
   because of these problems?  Or is that the only subdirectory you have
   tried to build?

   Isn't it possible to just run 'fixincludes'? This is what's done when you 
   install gcc from scratch. Don't actually know where to find fixincludes 
   though.
