Hi.

I'm trying to compile rsync 2.6.0 on Solaris 9 Sparc, using gcc 3.2.
The configure script seems to run with no problem.
But when I go ahead to make, I get the following error output:

-----8<------------------------------------------------------------
gcc -I. -I. -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W  -c rsync.c -o rsync.o

*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `rsync.o'

The machine is a Sun Sparc Ultra 250. here is the "uname -a" output:
SunOS suntst-2 5.9 Generic_112233-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250

I got the same error trying to compile rsync 2.6.1pre1.

The first line on source-code which causes the error, line 371 of 
rsync.h, is a "INO64_T inode;" field inside the file_struct definition.

Any help/advice will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
