One common cause of weird build problems on Solaris is using the
wrong tool set.  I don't know about this specific error, but it
sort of sounds like a mismatch between the variant of getpgrp()
that "configure" detected, and the one that the C compiler
subsequently tried to use.

To fix it, make sure that /usr/ccs/bin is in your PATH, and that
/usr/ucb is *not*.  If that doesn't work, try it the other way
around :-)

Hmmm, looking at the Solaris 8 box on which I'm typing this, it
seems I built Amanda with both /usr/ccs/bin and /usr/ucb in my
path.  But they're in the order stated here; perhaps you have
/usr/ucb first.  Maybe it's sufficient to make sure that
/usr/ccs/bin precedes /usr/ucb.

After making any such path change, it's best to "make distclean"
and rerun configure; otherwise, stale feature detections from the
previous setup might continue to screw things up.

The animal that coils in a circle is the serpent; that's why so
many cults and myths of the serpent exist, because it's hard to
represent the return of the sun by the coiling of a hippopotamus.
