The sys/core.h should be investigated, but isn't the source of your
problem.  I think a bigger part of the problem is that configure detected
the return type of signal handlers on Solaris 9, but it couldn't figure
out the argument list.  Note the warning in the configure output:

checking return type of signal handlers... void
checking parameter type of signal handlers...
configure: WARNING: Please #define SIGHANDLERARGS in config.h

That's a big problem.  I recommend you look at the `config.log' and search
for

        signal handlers

that will show what configure does to determine the return type (void),
and the next test is what's failing to determine the parameter type of
signal handlers.  If you can't determine what the problem is on your
own, attach the config.log to a replay email.

BTW, looking at config.log and sys/core.h might also explain why the
preprocessor choked on it.  There are a couple common reasons why that
might happen; looking at config.log generally narrows it down.
