Summary:                    signals.h - syntax error before '*' token
Description: 
Whenever attempting building asterisk 1.6.0.5 on Solaris I have a
compilation failure that exits with the following error:

I modified makeopts to reflect the following:

GC_CFLAGS="-D__EXTENSIONS__=1"

But I still get the same error.

Here is what I did:

gtar zxf asterisk-1.6.0.6.tar.gz
cd asterisk-1.6.0.6
export CC=gcc CXX=g++
./configure
--
edit makeopts and made the GC_FLAGS modification mentioned above
--
make

However I still get the same error:
