I've been getting this with every version of binutils I've built up since I
started using -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, this includes
2.9.1 and every snapshop I've downloaded from cygnus. It's a Solaris only
issue, didn't happen when I built it on a hppa2.0 Visualise C 3000
You can probably fix it by adding
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
near the top of bfd/bfd-in2.h.
I'm somewhat uncomfortable with requiring every program which includes
bfd.h to also include those files. Unfortunately, the only other
choice is probably to change the two uses of struct stat * to void *,
instead, and thus lose type checking.
