Description James Andrewartha 2006-09-21 17:14:42 UTC 
http://jhbuild.bxlug.be/builds/2006-09-21-0006/logs/libxml2/#build

xmlIO.c: In function `xmlCheckFilename':
xmlIO.c:721: error: storage size of 'stat_buffer' isn't known
xmlIO.c:731: warning: implicit declaration of function `_stat'
xmlIO.c:731: warning: nested extern declaration of `_stat'
xmlIO.c:721: warning: unused variable `stat_buffer'

This is to do with _stat being declared somehow, but not actually usable on Solaris - someone I know hit something similar on FreeBSD recently. The fix is probably to add some more cases to the preprocessor directives at the top of xmlIO.c
