I am surprised that giflib does not build on windows, we can't
be the only people using it on windows ?

Except for the legal header, I think your "patches" should be
inside a platform ifdef to show exactly where they are needed
and also be bracketed by comments

So something like this :
/** Begin JDK modifications to support building on Solaris **/
#ifdef SOLARIS
..
#endif /* SOLARIS */
/** End JDK modifications to support building on Solaris **/

-phil.
