Title: Compile Error (Solaris 8/gcc 2.95.3/Graphviz 1.8.9)

Version: 1.8.9
System: Sparc-Solaris-2.8
Severity: minor
Problem:
Compile error. After running configure and make it gets to this part of the compile: 

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -I../../../tools/sfio -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-u
nknown-pragmas -DNDEBUG -c sfdcdio.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o sfdcdio.lo

../../../tools/sfio/sfio.h:103: parse error before `exceptf'

and many more error messages.

The relevant lines in sfio.h are: 


typedef ssize_t         (*Sfread_f)_ARG_((Sfio_t*, Void_t*, size_t, Sfdisc_t*));
typedef ssize_t         (*Sfwrite_f)_ARG_((Sfio_t*, const Void_t*, size_t, Sfdisc_t*));
typedef Sfoff_t         (*Sfseek_f)_ARG_((Sfio_t*, Sfoff_t, int, Sfdisc_t*));
typedef int             (*Sfexcept_f)_ARG_((Sfio_t*, int, Void_t*, Sfdisc_t*));

My C is not all that good but is this trying to define a proforma procedure? Why is this compile failing?

Thanks for any help.

ps. I resolved the configure problem that I previously reported.
