In building gs 8.64 on Solaris8 with the SunPRO 5 compilers all is going well
until it hits jasper/src/libjasper/jpc/jpc_qmfb.c when the Sun compilers fall
over.  This turns out to be because of the line-endings in that file (DOS style
I think).

This doesn't happen when using gcc on Linux or MacOSX so perhaps the SunPRO
compiler is just being picky, but it didn't happen when building 8.63 with the
same SunPRO compiler so something has changed.

Configured with:

  CC=cc CFLAGS=-O ./configure --prefix=/opt/gs$GSVV --without-ijs --without-omni
--disable-cups --with-drivers=ALL --disable-compile-inits

the make then fails with:

Using our usual 'fix dos files' perl script to transform it works for us:

#! /usr/bin/perl
while ($arg = shift) {
    rename($arg, "$arg.old") ;
    open(IN, "<$arg.old") ;
    open(OUT, ">$arg") ;

    while (<IN>) {
        s/(\012)*\015(\012)*/\012/g;
        s/\032//g;
        print OUT $_ ;
    }
    close(IN) ;
    close(OUT) ;
}

and I'm sure that any other dos-to-unix convertor would as well.

In case you are interested I probably should have reported before that this
system also objects to the contents of psi/psromfs.mak since it can't understand
continuation lines - but the fix is pretty obvious.
