problem compiling kaffe beta3 on Solaris

[Godmar Back]

 These errors come about because we currently re#define symbols such
as malloc, free, or open in kaffe header files.  If standard system
headers are included after such redefinitions, bad things happen.

For the specific Solaris failure, Alexandre already put a fix in
the CVS (I think it's to include <stdlib.h> *before* we include the
other headers.)

While these redefinitions were well-intentioned, we're now constantly 
getting screwed by them, and it is high time to scrap them.

As for the problem with double align[0], that's a gcc extension.
I don't think the Solaris port of kaffe will compile with any compiler
but gcc.
