Sorry for not being clear, the problem is that on solaris 5.6
getloadvg.c tried to include the file 'a.out.h'. No such file existed,
but there existed a 'nlist.h' which was '#else':d in the code:

(This is around line 356 in getloadavg.c)

#  ifndef VMS
#   ifndef __linux__
#    ifndef NLIST_STRUCT
#     include <a.out.h>
#    else /* NLIST_STRUCT */
#     include <nlist.h>
#    endif /* NLIST_STRUCT */

Defining NLIST_STRUCT in conf.h made it include nlist.h instead of
trying to find a.out.h, which didn't exist. Atleast not on my system.

I figured the correct solution to this was to make the configure check
for the presence of 'nlist.h' and set the proper define, but I have
not enough experience with autoconf to make that patch.

Hope this makes things clearer. Or I might just not understand a
deeper problem. :)
