This is part of the more general and equally annoying problem you face
when you pick up a gcc binary and drop it into, say, a Solaris 2.5 box,
be it SPARC or Intel. You quickly find that Sun has cleverly moved
everything around, and a number of header files seem to be missing.
Since they're proprietary, it's unkosher to just lift them from a
machine whose owner sprung the US$5k for the Sun compiler.

What should you do in such a case? Who out there has a good solution to
this? I have to compile Perl 5.003_05 on a Solaris 2.5.1 x86 computer on
saturday, and the Perl Configure script bonks when it checks to see if
gcc works. It does so precisely because a sys/*.h file is missing.
