sharutils-4.11 does not compile on Solaris

[Maciej Bliziński]

Hello bug-gnu-utils,

I'd like to report a problem with sharutils-4.11 on Solaris.
Compilation with Solaris Studio compiler (a.k.a. Sun Studio, or Sun
Pro compiler) fails as follows:

gmake[6]: Entering directory
`/home/maciej/src/opencsw/pkg/sharutils/trunk/work/solaris9-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8/sharutils-4.11/lib'
source='strtoimax.c' object='strtoimax.o' libtool=no \
DEPDIR=.deps depmode=none /bin/bash ../depcomp \
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../intl
-I/opt/csw/include -D_REENTRANT -xO3 -m32 -xarch=v8 -c strtoimax.c
"strtoimax.c", line 71: bit-field size < 0: verify_error_if_negative_size__
cc: acomp failed for strtoimax.c
gmake[6]: *** [strtoimax.o] Error 2

The operating system is Solaris 9 on sparc.  The processor of the
machine supports sparcv9 instruction set (64-bit), but the compilation
options -m32 forces a sparcv8 (32-bit) binary (this is OpenCSW policy
for building executables).

I'm attaching gzipped config.log file.

Compilation of sharutils versions 4.9 and 4.10 was succcessful, so
it's a regression since 4.10.

P.S. sharutils documentation tells to use
address@hidden for reporting bugs, but
address@hidden bounces emails.
