Hi,

Following compiler error is observed on SPARC platform when compiling Emacs 24.3:

This happens because Emacs' and FreeBSD's system header files define a type
`struct frame` which causes conflict. The attached diff file fixes this issue
by renaming the FreeBSD's type before it gets defined.

Following is the output of `uname -a`:

Thanks, I installed a fix in the trunk (bzr 113491) along the
lines you suggested and am marking this as done.

The _Alignof/_Alignas issue was fixed earlier in
the trunk (bzr 113322).

The other noise is harmless and should be fixed
once FreeBSD fixes their compiler (a later GCC
version, perhaps? I don't know the FreeBSD
compiler technology these days).
