I'm not aware of anyone building on this platform, perhaps someone
else will speak up! Otherwise, the NCL team does not have access to
such a system, thus we've not tried to build NCL on Solaris 10x86.

This is a somewhat old version of gcc; are you able to upgrade to v4.x?

Note that the error message is complaining about a system header
file, and not a part of the NCL code base. When this sort of thing
happens, the first thing I suspect is a compiler and system
development environment that "do not play well together." Sometimes,
upgrading the compiler fixes the problem, which is why I ask about
upgrading it.

Again, note that the error refers to a system header file, and not
part of the NCL code base.

Is it possible that your system development environment is somehow
corrupted or not installed properly?
