Ugh! What compiler are you using for this? This works nicely on my solaris 2.7
using gcc.

I would say this indicates a bug in autoconf that generated the code that
checks for the size of this variable type. But I guess blaming it on autoconf
won't help you very much...

You could try setting CFLAGS to '-Doff_t=long' when you run configure, but I'm
not sure that'll work.
