When I tried to install emacs 21.2 on my Sun Blade 100 station running Solaris 
2.8, I encountered the following problem:

configure --prefix=/opt/local
gmake

.....

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/opt/temp/emacs-21.2/lwlib'

                  from xlwmenu.c:32:
/usr/include/strings.h:25: conflicting types for `memmove'
/usr/include/iso/string_iso.h:62: previous declaration of `memmove'
/usr/include/strings.h:26: parse error before numeric constant
gmake[2]: *** [xlwmenu.o] Error 1

gmake[1]: *** [really-lwlib] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/temp/emacs-21.2/src'
gmake: *** [src] Error 2

The preprocessed file xlwmenu.i.bz2 is attached. It appears that bcopy is 
#define'd to memmove before the prototype of bcopy is read from 
/usr/include/strings.h. This leads to the conflicting types error.
