Warnings or errors?  I see these often when compiling X programs on a
Solaris box - but the're always warnings and the code still compiles.
There is some flag you can give to g++ so it doesn't generate these
warnings, but I can't remember it at the moment.

I've been told that Sun's header files are "broken" (i.e., it's Sun's
fault for not providing proper header files), but don't know this for
certain.
