We need to shore up Solaris 9 support and further verify Solaris 10
support.
Besides the outstanding vfsck issue, there are also two instances where
OpenAFS code uses u_int32_t (or was it u_int64_t? I forget , the code
isnt in front of me.) Anyhow, Solaris uses POSIX, and so there are no
public typedefs with the non-POSIX (and apparently used in Linux) u_
prefix. The POSIX analogs are of course uint32_t and uint64_t, as
defined in <sys/inttypes.h>
I guess the patch to fix this so that compilation on Solaris is one
step closer depends on where the allegiance, for lack of a better word,
of the OpenAFS maintainers are. Do we typedef for non-POSIX or do we do
it for POSIX; and then patch whoever falls outside of that?
