	I remember fixing this before and sure enough after a bit of
poking about in our build setup I found the magic incantation. If you
set the CPP var to the default preprocessor shipped with Solaris (when
building libIDL) it should build smoothly .. so ..

	CPP=/usr/lib/cpp ./configure ....

	I can't remember the deatils but forte's cpp was b0rked (and
AFAIR non C99 compliant output). Laca, can you remember the details ?
Did we inform the forte group and did they do anything about it? My
mind is distinctly hazy ... :/

HTH,
Mark.
