That was a mistake on my part. When I copied it off of the cached google 
site it threw the stars in.

Using -D__attribute__\(X\) only removes the attribute errors, I still 
receive the line ending errors. Either way if I'm going to redefine it 
to essentially nothing I might as well commented it out like you said below.

This seems to work, but I'm worried that the functionality might be 
needed somewhere. I do know that there is some way to use suncc pragma 
to accomplish the same funtion as __attribute__ align, but I haven't 
been successful. Anyone know suncc better out there? I'd love to get 
this built since we were able to get JBJ's rpm 4.4.9 built for Solaris 9 
with a little help.

I'm don't think this is related to my earlier tinkering, but the build 
doesn't get much farther before dying some more... I see this is going 
to be a battle :( The code definitely doesn't like Suncc
