a quick google search indicates that this is a compiler problem.  random
FAQ entry:

    The problem is that the Solaris headers changed across updates
    of Solaris 9 and you are using a GCC from before the change on
    an updated system. (i.e. a GCC built for Solaris 9 <= 12/03 on
    Solaris 9 >= 4/04).

    You can either rebuild GCC for your version of the system (it
    works, even using a GCC built for the previous version), or fix
    your headers:
