I'm encountering some similar problems discussed here while trying to
compile the latest PovRay. I found a solution to the problem trying to
compile the docs in this newsgroup, but I don't see it as a real solution
(remove docs from the SUBDIRS line of the Makefile) and it's a bug that
needs to be fixed.

I also saw a "fix" for the tiff problem, which I haven't encountered as of
yet as I haven't gotten that far, but I've made note of it for future
reference.

I haven't found anything regarding the problem I now face. I get this error
in compiling for solaris 8 x86, gcc 3.1.1, gnu make 3.7.9:

Any help is greatly and urgently appreciated.
