[Samba] 2.2.3a build on IRIX

[Phil Chambers]

I have downloaded the 2.2.3a release via CVS and have a problem with the configure 
script.

On IRIX 6.5.14m with the IRIX cc compiler I get a failure at the "checking configure 
summary" stage.  The failure logged in config.log is:

/usr/include/stdio.h, Line = 53
The indicated declaration has an invalid combination of type specifiers.
  typedef int ssize_t;
              ^
I note that confdefs.h contains "#define ssize_t int", which is what is causing the 
error.

If I run on another 6.5.14m system which has the gcc compiler it is OK.

Are there any IRIX gurus out there who can explain (and preferably offer a fix for) 
this?  I had thought that IRIX was one of the platforms which was well supported for 
SAMBA.

Phil.
