The problem is: sfio seems not to be compatible with Solaris 9. The error
comes from:
#include <stdio-tag.h>
in floatingpoint.h.

This contains only the definition of FILE*... But stdio-tag.tag is not
included into the sfio package, so
both definitions are different and the compiler do not like it.
I fixed this by creating a sfio-tag.h file in the sfio-include which only
contains the inclusion of stdio.h
(I think in solaris code the stdio-tag.h file is only for speedup in
compiling/preprocessing of the internal .h files.

For me it worked then better until a next problem occurs: under solaris 9
the ranlib tool does not seem to work, so
i have to change the Makefile of sfio to use ar with a parameter instead of
it. Because the .a file it produces does not
contain symbol information and linking with the sfio-mt.a does not work and
shows only missing symbols :(

All this is a problem and is not on the PHP side so this is no solution
until the sfio package is solaris 9 compatible.

The PHP folks would have to look at this....

Looks like redefinition issue, and something I don't know about.

On the Apache stuff, It just worked..... (this was in 98-99, though).

How do you handle that in you apache some time ago....?

I tried to compile PHP with sfio but I failed because under solaris:

• linking together with compatiblity libstdio-mt.a (-lstdio-mt) does not
  work because this works not for .so files. The linking to libc is not
  overwritten. If you compile a whole program with it, it works (the init
  code of libstdio-mt.a unlinks all references to libc). But
  SunONE/iPlanet servers are not available in sourcecode so you cannot
  recompile the main code.

• To compile with sfio that it works you have to include everywhere the
  special version of "stdio.h" (not with <>...). So we need a #define and
  we should include it to php-config.h and remove all occurences of
  #include <stdio.h> from code... and link to "libsfio.a". But this did
  not work, if I include CFLAGS=... before the ./configure it appends the
  -I at the end of all includes and will not use the special version of
  stdio.h I think the problem is the <> around the standard includes,
  they have to be ""...

• If I do it really hard by: CC="gcc -nostdinc -I/../sfio/include
  -I/usr/include" ./configure (to get the right search order)
  The compiler claims about some redefinitions and stops somewhere in
  pthread.h :(

Larry: Do you know how I could do this?

yep.

This sounds like a reasonable fix; we would need to add a configure
check for this. (Although CFLAGS=-I/path/to/sfio/includes ./configure
should also work).

Uwe, could you try this out?

Thanks for the suggestion Larry :)
My pleasure.

when I was at a Solaris ISP, I used it for my Apache, and it worked
great.

There is an AT&T SFIO package that is a drop in replacement stdio
package that fixes
this for solaris.
