I'm building db-3.3.10 on Solaris 10 using GNC CC with local PATH:
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb

The ../dist/configure completes without errors.
During the make the util.sig.c include /usr/include/sys/signal.h and
/usr/include/signal.h which include /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h - The
errors are with this

Is there are problem compiling db-3.3.10 or db-4.4.20 on solaris 10.
While compiling both version, the same error is displayed.

Here is the error:
/usr/local/bin/gcc -c -I. -I../dist/../include

*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `util_sig.lo'

I found the solution on SUN's website and it worked!!!.

According to "Daniel Peterson", try the following commands :

cd /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.3.2/install-tools
../mkheaders

I executed the above command then restart the Installation:
cd build_unix
make clean
.../dist/configure
make
make install

It works!!!
