Actually, uint_32_t is in <sys/inttypes.h> which is included from
<sys/types.h>.  So removing features.h is sufficient.

The build host is sparc-sun-solaris2.9

Tested.  This required replacing #include <ncurses.h> with
#include <curses.h> in lots of files (I think most if not all linux has
curses.h as a symlink to ncurses.h or vice versa) and -lncurses with
-lcurses (also probably symlinked on linux.)  Additionally, I had to
link with "-lresolv -lnls".  And the last change was that I needed
#include <sys/sockio.h> in lib/ap_search.c.

I don't have access to an AP from the solaris box I used, but it at
least appeared to start OK and draw its menus fine, so it probably
works.

One last thing: a few files have double sets of includes.  Just grepping
for ncurses.h will reveal some of them, that have it twice, but there
might be even more.
