Turns out the problem was a "broken" GCC 3.3.2 installation.
When it was compiled, GCC 2.95.3 was used and the OS was
Solaris 8.  Since then the OS was upgraded to Solaris 9,
probably resulting in changes to sys/stat.h.  Fortunately,
GCC 3.3.2 from the Sun freeware CD for Solaris 9 was
installed elsewhere on the workstation.  After running
configure again (the "checking for sys/stat.h" now answered
"yes") that GCC installation compiled cvs 1.1.19 correctly.

Thanks for the help!
