To be sure I rm -rf gateway and restored from CVS again.

Yes. Apart from docbook support which I don't particular care (This is a
minimal server for security/performance reasons)
 CFLAGS="-O6 -s -m64 -DSunOS" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" configure
--build=ia64-pc-solaris2.10 --libdir=/usr/local/lib/64 --enable-ssl
--enable-cookies --enable-debug --enable-warnings --enable-docs
--mandir=/usr/local/man --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --enable-pcre

gateway-1.4.1 compiled with the same configuration with no problems.
The issue seems to be with HUGE_VAL and Solaris. I don't have a linux in
front of me to check, but in solaris 10.5 in /usr/include/iso/math_iso.h:
#define HUGE_VAL __huge_val._d

Good to know. Thanx.

In the web download site, under daily development downloads. The sources
tarball could have a day stamp in the name. I use a minimal server without
cvs. I downloaded the daily snapshot and couldn't figure out when it was
built. The last date in RELEASES was back in 2004. I installed CVS and got
the tree, just to be sure.
