I haven't, but that set ortof errors looks like the type I get (on 
Gentoo) when I've upgraded gcc and an app hasn't been patched for the new 
strictness, or when it's missing a header file and therefore reading the 
syntax incorrectly.

Unfortunately, I'm not particularly good at fixing that sort of error, 
except by seeing if I can find a patch for the new gcc (or glib or 
whatever) or downgrading whatever it is to an earlier, known compatible, 
version.  However, you need to figure out what's missing (or looked for 
in the wrong path) or the wrong version, first.

If you're doing OpenSolaris, there's a fair chance you know more about 
dealing with such errors than I do.  Maybe the BSD/OSX folks here can 
help; I know they have similar problems once in awhile.
