I fixed this compilation problem in the 4.0.5 development tree about a week ago.  See revision 1.27 of sockets.c (http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/php4/ext/sockets/sockets.c.diff?r1=1.26&r2=1.27).

user feedback:

Nope. I can reproduce this with latest CVS in Solaris 8.. BUT only
when using GCC. With the Sun CC it works fine.


So this bug report should be re-opened.
Here's what I get with latest CVS when using GCC 2.95.2:

Simple but ugly workaround for Solaris 7/8 is to define _KERNEL for sockets.h in ext/sockets/sockets.c in PHP.

ext/sockets/socket.c:

#define _KERNEL
#include <sys/socket.h>
#undef _KERNEL

I got the exact same result as you mention in bug #8667, on Solaris 6
with gcc 2.95.2.  I was compiling the latest sockets.c, pulled today
from CVS, with this id string:

/* $Id: sockets.c,v 1.32 2001/02/26 06:07:16 andi Exp $ */

Believe it or not, moving:

    #include "php_sockets.h"     (line 39)

down to *below* the block of system includes (i.e. after the include for
<sys/uio.h>, line 55) fixed the problem.  Guess php_sockets.h depends on
some system stuff being defined, probably from <sys/socket.h>.

Maybe someone else already spotted this - I may have missed it when I
checked the bug list.

Fixed In CVS: See comment on ( sockets.c,v 1.34 )
