[coldsync-hackers] help compiling with gcc 4.0.1 on Mac OS 10.4.4

["Joseph J. Strout" <joe at strout dot net>]

I'm trying to compile coldsync on my Mac.  I did a './configure', 
which claimed that my kit looks good, and then 'make'.  I don't have 
very much experience with Unix hacking, so I'm not sure what to make 
of the errors I'm seeing, which start with:

gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./.. 
-I./../include -I/usr/local/include -c PConnection_net.c
In file included from PConnection_net.c:14:
/usr/include/arpa/nameser.h:121: error: parse error before '*' token
/usr/include/arpa/nameser.h:123: error: parse error before '*' token
/usr/include/arpa/nameser.h:126: error: parse error before '*' token

...and a zillion more like these.  Line 121 of nameser.h is:

	const u_char	*_msg, *_eom;

So maybe my setup hasn't defined what u_char is?

If it matters, gcc -v returns:

Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-apple-darwin8
Configured with: /private/var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5247.obj~4/src/configure 
--disable-checking -enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man 
--enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ 
--program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.0/ 
--with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.0.0 
--build=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --host=powerpc-apple-darwin8 
--target=powerpc-apple-darwin8
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5247)

I'm at a bit of a loss here... can anyone offer any insight?

Thanks,
- Joe
