Sorry but stdint.h is not present on my Solaris 2.8 system. There is
little I can do about this. So maybe Solaris doesn't respect the
standard somewhere but ...

Same here getopt.h is not part of solaris headers. Solaris does not seem
to support getopt_long() and getopt() prototype is part of stdio.h,
stdlib.h or unistd.h. But no getopt.h on the horizon ... Should use one
of the other mentioned files.

For what I understand these programs (the ones build from the source I
modified) should not be cross-compiled but build for the host platform
(here Solaris) with the native compiler. Am I wrong?

Oh and I didn't specify any particular -nostdinc -nostdlib flag
anywhere. I am just using the standard Linux 2.6.7 Makefile. The command
used is:

make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-7400-linux-gnu-
