I have a libz/zlib-related problem with Solaris 8.

To compile with zlib, I need to do "./configure --with-zlib=/usr" but
that creates a problem when compiling testDocbook.c and other files
that use fprintf, etc. because the addition of "-I/usr/include" on the
gcc command line causes the inclusion of some Solaris-specific header
files that gcc can't use.

The temporary workaround is to remove "-I/usr/include" from the echoed
command line and recompile using the modified command line:

------------------------------------------------------------
tenso% make testDocbook
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./include -I./include -I/usr/include   -I/include  -g -O2 -Wall -c 
testDocbook.c
testDocbook.c: In function `warningDebug':
testDocbook.c:539: `__builtin_va_alist' undeclared (first use in this function)
testDocbook.c:539: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
testDocbook.c:539: for each function it appears in.)

tenso% gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./include -I./include   -I/include  -g -O2 -Wall -c testDocbook.c
tenso%
