Solaris 64 bit problem

[hemarko]

I am using gcc to build ncurses-5.2 in 64 bit mode on Solaris 7 and 8.
Building in 32 bit mode works correctly, However, the vsscanf function
explicitly uses the internal structure of FILE and puts values into the
structure elements by hand.

strbuf._flag = _IOREAD;
strbuf._ptr = strbuf._base = (unsigned char *)str;
strbuf._cnt = strlen(str);
strbuf._file = _NFILE;

However, Solaris hides these elements from the user in 64 bit mode (gcc
-m64).  As a result, they are undefined and I am unable to build a 64
bit version of the ncurses library.
