           Summary: parsesolaris.c fails to compile because of conflict in
                    symbol ffs
           Product: ntp
           Version: 4.2.5
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ntpd
        AssignedTo: stenn at ntp.org
        ReportedBy: brian.utterback at sun.com
                CC: bugs at ntp.isc.org


The symbol "ffs" is defined in both string.h and systm.h. This is a longstanding
problem that was fixed by the kludge of making a local copy of the systm.h 
include file and changing the definition of ffs to match the one in string.h. This
was safe because nothing in parsesolaris.c used the ffs function. 

Unfortunately, the prototype of ffs was recently changed in Solaris, so that the
sed script no longer matches the line. 

Rather than attempt to match the line so closely, a better idea is to use wildcard 
to be more general and to just delete the line entirely. It is not needed anyway.

So, instead of having:

sed -e 's/ffs(long)/ffs(int)/' < /usr/include/sys/systm.h > sys/systm.h

change it to 

sed -e 'ffs(.*)/d' < /usr/include/sys/systm.h > sys/systm.h
