[Bug-indent] Problem building indent-2.2.7 on SunOS 4.1.4

[David W. Schuler]

Hello:

I am having problems building indent-2.2.7 on a SunOS 4.1.4 system.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to sufficiently debug the problem
to give a set of patches.  However, I can describe the problems I am
seeing.

Configure Command:      configure --with-included-gettext

Compiler:               gcc --version ==>  2.95.3

Problems:

1)  checking for bison... bison
    checking version of bison... v. ?.??, bad

    When I run configure, I notice that it is not correctly identifying
    bison.  bison --version ==> "bison (GNU Bison) 1.33".  I'm not sure
    that this problem is of concern to building indent... but it's something
    I noticed that seems out of place.

2)  On SunOS, there is a conflict between /usr/include/locale.h and
    the enumerated type "on_or_off".  This enumerated type defines
    "ON" and "OFF", which conflict with definitions that appear in
    <locale.h>.  I was able to get past this problem by renaming the
    "ON" and "OFF" values.  (I temporarily renamed them to something
    like "arg_ON" and "arg_OFF" to get around the problem... but there
    may be a much better name that could be used.)

3)  checking for stpcpy... no

    When running configure, the check for stpcpy() correctly shows that
    it is not available.  However, config.h shows the following:

    /* Define if you have the stpcpy function.  */
    #define HAVE_STPCPY 1

    The compile ends up failing because stpcpy() could not be found when
    linking.
