It's caused by the inclusion of the header file, not my source.  My
*guess* is that's it's some sort of config issue related to
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS and/or _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE.  There's not much on
Google about it.  Here's a quick tidbit that can be used as a test:

/* foo.c */
#include "ruby.h"
#include <procfs.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static VALUE foo_hello()
{
   return rb_str_new2("Hello");
}

void Init_foo()
{
   VALUE cFoo;
   cFoo = rb_define_class("Foo",rb_cObject);
   rb_define_singleton_method(cFoo,"hello",foo_hello,0);
}

# extconf.rb
require "mkmf"
create_makefile("foo")

>make
gcc -Wall -fPIC -g -O2 -I. -I/opt/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9
-I/opt/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9 -I. -c foo.c
In file included from /usr/include/procfs.h:26,
                 from foo.c:2:
/usr/include/sys/procfs.h:44:2: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large
file compilation environment"
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `foo.o'

My best bet is to compile p3 and p4 and compare config.log files and
Makefiles.  I'm also downloading the gcc 3.3 solaris package as I write
this which apparently has better 64 bit support for solaris.  Perhaps
that will magically solve my problems.
