I think it is probably due to the ancient version 2.7.2 of gcc we
have by default on Solaris 2.6 here. The sigset_t type is guarded
by #ifdefs as follows:
#if defined(__EXTENSIONS__) || (__STDC__ - 0 == 0) || \
defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE) || \
defined(_XPG4_2)
and I have had problems with this kind of thing before when using gcc,
which I usually worked around by setting one of those symbols (chosen
at random). I guess gcc-2.7.2 predates some of the C standardisation
efforts.
However, I just found out that we do have a newer version (2.95.2)
of gcc installed as well, although it is not the default compiler.
Everything seems to work okay when I use it, without any need to
set symbols. Sorry to bother you with the (non-)bug report!

Malcolm
