Then something's busted in the port cuz the first error occurs in
DB_File.xs which has
#include "EXTERN.h"
#include "perl.h"
#include "XSUB.h"
#include <db.h>
as the first non-comments in the file, and so does the generated .c file.
Inserting the line from the /usr/include/db.h file
typedef u_int32_t recno_t;
into the DB_File.xs causes the generated .c file to compile properly
so something's broken with the CC processing of the .h typedef. But if
it's really CC brain-damage, then I'd expect lots of other typedefs in
.h files to fail spectacularly.
This manual edit gets me through my roadblock but I'm very concerned
about other damage if there's really a CC or .h problem. Any hints?
Anyone else have this problem?
