Problem compiling nmap 3.81 for Solaris on Intel

[Simon Burr <simes () bpfh net>]

I've just encountered an annoying problem trying to compile nmap 3.81 for
Solaris on Intel - Solaris on IA32 defines the word PC as a value of 14 in
its header files. This causes a problem when trying to compile tcpip.cc as
it has the line:

  static PacketCounter PC;

Which gets converted to:

  static PacketCounter 14;

After the preprocessor pass and strangely enough this doesn't compile very
well!

I've attached a simple patch which fixes this problem by renaming the PC
variable to PktCt instead. The patch was generated against the 3.81 release
of nmap.
