[racket] help with building racket on Solaris-Sparc

On the Solaris-Sparc machine,
I tried 'configure with --enable-sgc' and was stuck when make
was compiling racket/src/port.c:

gcc -I....  -DUSE_SENORA_GC -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
     -DMZ_USES_SHARED_LIB  -fPIC -DPIC

port.c:792  error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type
                    'struct mz_fd_set'

port.c:1259 error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

-----------------------

In comparison,  I did try to make racket in a linux machine (Suse)
with gcc version 4.5.1
[ I did not invoke --enable-sgc  during configure step on this machine. ]
And it finished without any issue.
