Problems compiling tcl 8.5.0 test suite

I am compiling tcl 8.5.0 on a Sun SPARC system. When I type "make", the
program compiles flawlessly. Then when I type "make test", the attempt
to compile ../unix/tclAppInit.c results in a massive set of errors and
warnings. Here are just a few samples:

"../generic/tclInt.h", line 2006: syntax error before or at: Tcl_LimitHandlerProc
"../generic/tclInt.h", line 2009: syntax error before or at: Tcl_LimitHandlerDeleteProc
"../generic/tclInt.h", line 2367: warning: no explicit type given
"../generic/tclInt.h", line 2367: syntax error before or at: *
"../generic/tclInt.h", line 2367: warning: old-style declaration or incorrect type for: tclGet---->TimeProcPtr
[...]
"../generic/tclTomMathDecls.h", line 153: syntax error before or at: *
"../generic/tclTomMathDecls.h", line 153: parameter redeclared: mp_int
"../generic/tclTomMathDecls.h", line 153: parameter redeclared: mp_int
"../generic/tclTomMathDecls.h", line 158: syntax error before or at: *
"../generic/tclTomMathDecls.h", line 158: warning: undefined or missing type for: b
"../generic/tclTomMathDecls.h", line 158: parameter redeclared: mp_int

and on and on. I don't see any obvious syntax errors in these header files.
Has anyone else seen something like this and can offer a pointer as to
what may be wrong?

Thanks.

For Solaris systems, the best place to start is using some package
system - try sunfreeware.com [my preference for pre-Solaris 10] or
blastwave.org and see if you can get tcl/tk added in that manner...
saves time/headaches! Otherwise, you have an issue with either an
INCLUDE setting or you may be building external to the source
directory and the code is expecting you to build within the source
tree? some include file that will allow the other include files to
make sense appears to be missing, I think.

Which compiler, which version of Solaris?

AFAIK the ActiveState folks compile with the sun compiler, but others
also compile with gcc and it works, so there must be something up there.

If you don't insist on compiling yourself you could use the solaris
distribution from ActiveState...

Sun C 5.8 Patch 121015-06 2007/10/03
Solaris 8

The reason for the older OS and compiler is that this is a build of tcl/tk
for the blastwave site and we are compiling for backward compatibility for
all Sun systems supported by Solaris 8 onward.

Here is the compile line that generates the errors:

And once again, some of th 296 error and warning messages generated:

cc: acomp failed for ../unix/tclAppInit.c
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `tclTestInit.o'

With some sleep, I'll look into this more closely. It is probably some
sort of header file incompatibility problem. In the mean time, I'm
hoping someone else has seen this before.
