I don't have Solaris 7 ... on both Solaris 9 and 10 (beta63), struct
ifreq is _referenced_ in sys/sockio.h with verbiage indicating that it's
obsolete:

/*
  * Obsolete interface ioctls using struct ifreq that are supported
  * for compatibility. New interface ioctls use struct lifreq.
  */
#define SIOCSIFADDR _IOW('i', 12, struct ifreq) /* set if address */

and many more such defines follow. But struct ifreq is actually defined
in <net/if.h>. When I add that manually ahead of sockio.h I get:

In file included from if2ip.c:64:
/usr/include/net/if.h:370: error: parse error before "zoneid_t"
/usr/include/net/if.h:392: error: parse error before '}' token

However, it builds fine on Solaris 9. I will continue looking into this.

FWIW I tried cURL 7.11.1 also with same result.
