The CVS version of gdb gives the following error for a Solaris 5.8 build:
gcc -g -O2 \
-o gdb gdb.o libgdb.a \

I noticed that these 2 functions are defined in elf.c.
They are enclosed there with:
#if defined (HAVE_PRPSINFO_T) || defined (HAVE_PSINFO_T)
but the function calls in procfs.c are not.
I'm not sure if any of the 2 defines HAVE_PRPSINFO_T or HAVE_PSINFO_T
should be set for Solaris 5.8 (I guess I'd have to understand the code
in the configure script), but I think that the calls in procfs.c
need the same #ifs as in elf.c.
I enclosed the 2 function calls in procfs.c also with
#if defined (HAVE_PRPSINFO_T) || defined (HAVE_PSINFO_T)
and was able to build (and run) gdb.
