I applied your patch, though I did need to make a fix to
tt_xdr_utils.h -- the linux's and BSD's need the full:
struct XDR::xdr_ops ops;

I think Chris Turkel can create/add a wiki page for this :)
If you have a list of prerequisites for building, that would probably
help others too.

Is there a way you can just have your compiler suite ignore these
files completely?
We could also just remove them entirely from CDE, though I'd like to
get some input from others on that first.
As for myself, I don't see a use for them on reasonably modern
compilers and would be fine with removing them.
Linux at least builds just fine without them, and I imagine the
BSD's would too.

Yay :)

No, nothing we care about needs this file.

"The <std.h> and <osfcn.h> headers are obsolete. They were part of
libg++ back in the day. All they do is duplicate the standard C
headers. They were originally around because they date back to the
day when most people didn't have standard ANSI C headers on their
systems.
Use the standard C headers instead (ie. <stdlib.h>, <string.h>, etc).

Thanks!
