All of the things you've changed look wrong to me.

Most of your changes are taking out <stdint.h>, which is not correct.
This header should be on any system, it is part of the C standard.

Sorry but stdint.h is not present on my Solaris 2.8 system. There is
little I can do about this. So maybe Solaris doesn't respect the
standard somewhere but ...

Even
the getopt changes shouldn't be required, you should be using the
version of getopt that came with your package.

Same here getopt.h is not part of solaris headers. Solaris does not seem
to support getopt_long() and getopt() prototype is part of stdio.h,
stdlib.h or unistd.h. But no getopt.h on the horizon ... Should use one
of the other mentioned files.

Are you sure that you've specified -nostdinc -nostdlib and given the
proper list of locations for the cross-compile system includes when
compiling?

For what I understand these programs (the ones build from the source I
modified) should not be cross-compiled but build for the host platform
(here Solaris) with the native compiler. Am I wrong?

Oh and I didn't specify any particular -nostdinc -nostdlib flag
anywhere. I am just using the standard Linux 2.6.7 Makefile. The command
used is:

make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-7400-linux-gnu-
