I don't think this is the best way to solve the problem, but it is good
enough until the code in common* can be re-unified with other Nmap code.
Instead of

#ifdef SOLARIS
typedef uint8_t u_int8_t;
#endif

it's better to do something like

#ifndef HAVE_U_INT8_T

(with an appropriate check in configure for u_int8_t). But that
shouldn't even be necessary! Obviously tcpip.cc, which uses the exact
same identifiers, is compiling. For SIOCGIFCONF, it's covered by this
code in tcpip.h:

#if HAVE_SYS_SOCKIO_H
#include <sys/sockio.h>  /* SIOCGIFCONF for Solaris */
#endif

You might be able to find out where the u_int8_t definition comes from
using the preprocessor. Just replace -c with -E in the line that makes
tcpip.o.

$ touch tcpip.cc
$ make tcpip.o
g++ -c -I/usr/include/lua -Ilibdnet-stripped/include  -Inbase -Insock/include -g -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing   
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNMAP_NAME=\"Nmap\" -DNMAP_URL=\"http://nmap.org\"; -DNMAP_PLATFORM=\"i686-pc-linux-gnu\" 
-DNMAPDATADIR=\"/usr/share/nmap\" -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 tcpip.cc -o tcpip.o
$ g++ -E -I/usr/include/lua -Ilibdnet-stripped/include  -Inbase -Insock/include -g -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing   
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNMAP_NAME=\"Nmap\" -DNMAP_URL=\"http://nmap.org\"; -DNMAP_PLATFORM=\"i686-pc-linux-gnu\" 
-DNMAPDATADIR=\"/usr/share/nmap\" -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 tcpip.cc > tcpip.E

Then in tcpip.E I have:

# 195 "/usr/include/sys/types.h" 3 4
typedef int int8_t __attribute__ ((__mode__ (__QI__)));
typedef int int16_t __attribute__ ((__mode__ (__HI__)));
typedef int int32_t __attribute__ ((__mode__ (__SI__)));
typedef int int64_t __attribute__ ((__mode__ (__DI__)));
typedef unsigned int u_int8_t __attribute__ ((__mode__ (__QI__)));

That's what I originally tried including <sys/types.h>, but it must be
in a different place on Solaris. I tried running the Solaris live CD,
but had trouble because it didn't recognize my mouse, and I don't know
how to install svn and gcc from the command line.
