Re: sys/cdefs.h required by gcc 2.95.3 but not 2.95.2. Why? Bug?

[Thomas Kaiser <home_cray at yahoo dot com>]

Here is what I did on my Solaris 8/SPARC box on
03/19/01:

1) I got gcc 2.95.3 from sunfreeware.com
2) I used pkgrm to uninstall gcc 2.95.2.
3) I installed gcc 2.95.3 using pkgadd -d
4) I got the sys/cdefs.h missing error when compiling
any C++ file that uses iostream.
5) I uninstalled gcc 2.95.3 using pkgrm.
6) I installed gcc 2.95.2 using pkgadd -d
7) I can compile all my C++ programs that use iostream
without any complains that there is a missing
sys/cdefs.h.
8) I went once more through this install/uninstall
process with the same results.
9) Steve who maintains sunfreeware.com suggested to
ask people at gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org.

Is there someone that can make this work on his SPARC
running Solaris 8?
