    The second, however, is a more serious error which I am not able to fix:

    The very strange thing is that I build 4.0b018 without problems - 
everything 
    ultimately compiled.  Now, however, 4.0b20 has this error, and when I go 
back, 
    4.0b018 won't build either!  It craps out with the same problem, which 
leads 
    me to think that something on my system has changed flavors, and I have no 
    idea what.
    
    Since I list built 4.0b018, the only change which I can recall is using 
gcc 
    2.7.2.1 instead of 2.7.2.  I'm pretty sure that nothing else on the system 
has 
    changed.  I don't have 2.7.2 around anymore - the docs indicated it had 
    several "serious bugs", so we moved up.  It builds every other application 
I 
    have without complaint, including things like perl 5.003, etc.
    
    I am running Solaris 2.5.  Any suggestions/help?
    
You have set -pedantic-errors when compiling; your problem has nothing
to do with changes between beta018 and beta020.
