This happens when the compiler is reading the include files, before any
of the code in pci-scan.c.  It looks like a flaw in the Sparc include
files.

Does this happen with any of the other .c files?
If not, there might be a way to avoid it by shuffling the include
files.  (The include files are still broken, but I'm willing to shuffle
the order to work around the problem.
