Shouldn't you be using "gcc -m64" if you want to build a 64-bit version?
(Or perhaps you have a special gcc that defaults to 64-bit?)

I tried to reproduce your problem with coreutils 5.93 on a Solaris 9
sparc host with GCC 4.0.2, using "configure CC='gcc -m64'", and didn't
have that problem.

Perhaps you're using an older coreutils release?  If so, please upgrade.

Most likely your "configure" went wrong, and put a "#define socklen_t
int" into config.h.  If so, you should investigate why.  But first,
upgrade to 5.93.
