Dear Waldo,

During a compilation run of kdelibs version 3.5.3 under Solaris OS 10, the
following error has been
reported:

ksycoca.cpp:46: error: duplicate `extern'

A look into the file revealed:

#ifdef Q_OS_SOLARIS
extern "C" extern int madvise(caddr_t, size_t, int);      /* Line 46 */
#endif

I changed to:

#ifdef Q_OS_SOLARIS
extern "C" {
extern int madvise(caddr_t, size_t, int);
}
#endif

and it complied without problems.

I do not know if it is a GCC compiler problem or the {} curly brackets are
indeed necessary to separate the
two extern directives.

Some details on my hardware and software running:
CPU:AMD Athlon 64 3000+,
Physical memory: 2048 MB.
