It seems that problem is with Perl. It includes sys/mode.h. The new
change for gcc 4.2 is that mode.h includes vnode.h and it finally
sys/list.h which is generic list for kernel structures.

I will try it. There is following hack:

CFLAGS="-D_SYS_VNODE_H"

which disable vnode.h and breaks include chain.

I need to install fresh nightly build of Solaris to test it on live
system.

Thanks Zdenek
