rsync - Apr 2004 - Error trying to compile 2.6.0 on Solaris 9 Sparc with gcc 3.2

Hi.

I'm trying to compile rsync 2.6.0 on Solaris 9 Sparc, using gcc 3.2.
The configure script seems to run with no problem.
But when I go ahead to make, I get the following error output:

-----8<------------------------------------------------------------
gcc -I. -I. -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W  -c rsync.c -o rsync.o

The machine is a Sun Sparc Ultra 250. here is the "uname -a" output:
SunOS suntst-2 5.9 Generic_112233-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250

I got the same error trying to compile rsync 2.6.1pre1.

The first line on source-code which causes the error, line 371 of 
rsync.h, is a "INO64_T inode;" field inside the file_struct
definition.

Any help/advice will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I don't have access to any Solaris systems, so I can't be of direct
help.  I do know that we have a Solaris/gcc system in the samba build
farm, so someone has gotten this working.

If you look up the INO64_T define, it is based on the uint64 define.
That is defined in rsync.h based on various configure-determined flags
(which you can find in config.h).  You'll have to dig through these
defines to see what definition your system is using and determine why
that is wrong (and hopefully figure out what definition would be right).  
Once you get the right uint64 value, it would be nice to fix configure
so that it determines this automatically.
