[racket] help with building racket on Solaris-Sparc

Sorry for the delay. I've finally had a chance to look into this
problem, and I see two problems:

  * Line 792 of "port.c" should be

      scheme_semaphore_fd_set = (struct mz_fd_set *)scheme_malloc_atomic(3 * sizeof(fd_set));

    That is, `3 * sizeof(fd_set)' should replace `sizeof(struct mz_fd_set)'.

 * Lines 1257-1261 of "port.c" should be bracketed as follows:

    # ifdef STORED_ACTUAL_FDSET_LIMIT
        if (FDSET_LIMIT(sp) > FDSET_LIMIT(p)) {
           i = FDSET_LIMIT(sp);
           FDSET_LIMIT(p) = i;
        }
    # endif
