Well, that was meant to answer the question of whether struct timespec was 
coming from gnulib, or the system header. The only conclusion I draw is that 
Tru64 is a PITA to deal with :-)

Anyway, I was playing around with this a bit more. The compiler is choking 
somewhere inside the #include<signal.h> at the top of sig2str.c. Without fully 
grokking the rat's nest of #includes that lead up to the error, I found that 
adding the following line makes the problem go away:

----begin sig2str.c snippet----
#include <config.h>

#include <limits.h>
#include <sys/types.h>    <---- skadoosh
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#include "sig2str.h"
----end sig2str.c snippet----

Everything else builds fine. Although I did run into one curious Make error 
(using /usr/bin/make):

----begin build log excerpt----
rm -f t-ref-del.sed ref-del.sed
sed -e '/^#/d' -e 's/@''PACKAGE''@/coreutils/g' ref-del.sin > t-ref-del.sed

GNU Make got through that without a problem, but... should gmake be a 
prerequisite for building coreutils?
