Summary:                    Build error with vtk 5.8.0 on archlinux
Description: 
Hi, I have the following build error on archlinux:

[  0%] Building C object Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/CMakeFiles/vtkhdf5.dir/H5F.c.o
/build/src/VTK/Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/H5F.c: In function 'H5F_build_actual_name':
/build/src/VTK/Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/H5F.c:2224:12: error: 'S_IFLNK' undeclared
(first use in this function)
/build/src/VTK/Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/H5F.c:2224:12: note: each undeclared
identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
/build/src/VTK/Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/H5F.c:2224:38: error: 'S_IFMT' undeclared
(first use in this function)
/build/src/VTK/Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/H5F.c:2229:27: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared
(first use in this function)

I tried to fix this by doing:

sed -i '31 i#include <sys/stat.h>' Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/H5F.c

but it resulted in the same error, I don't know how else this could be remedied.

I suspect this error is because archlinux is using the stricter gcc 4.6.1
I have attached the full build log as "vtk5.8.0buildlog".
If you need more info, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help!
