The process of doing the 'make CC=./CC patch' when installing
AT&T C++ 2.1 on a Sun breaks when trying to compile alloc.c.
The error messages are below.
Apparently there is a conflict bwtween the definition of size_t
that C++ wants to use and that Sun uses for their C compiler.
The SunOS is 4.1.2. The C compiler is Sun C (SC1.0).
The header /usr/include/sys/stdtypes.h does indeed use
"typedef int size_t".

Any suggestions??

The four error messages are:

/home/attc++/CC -O -DBSD -c alloc.c

CC  alloc.c:

1) "/usr/include/sys/stdtypes.h", line 27: error:
 size_t  redefined: previous:  unsigned int  now:  int

2) "/usr/include/sys/stdtypes.h", line 27: error:
 size_t  declared as  unsigned int  and  int

3) "/home/attc++/incl/new.h", line 21: error:
 operator new() requires a first argument of type size_t

4) "alloc.c", line 55: error:
 operator new() requires a first argument of type size_t
4 errors
*** Error code 1

        The best way to fix this is just change /usr/include/sys/stdtypes.h
from int to unsigned int.
        Or, put #if __CPLUSPLUS__
                        ... unsigned int ...
                #else
                        ... int ...
                #endif
        then when compiling it use the -D__CPLUSPLUS__ option.
