"NGROUPS" is not declared. (undeclared) on v4.0 1091 Tru64 (probably a BUG)

This is almost a bug for sure in openlap.. when you try to build on Tru64 you get:

  Entering subdirectory libraries

Making all in /Tools/install/openldap-2.1.16/libraries

  Entering subdirectory liblutil

cc -g -I../../include -I../../include -c getpeereid.c cc: Error: /usr/include/sys/ucred.h, line 86: In the declaration of "cr_groups", "NGROUPS" is not declared. (undeclared)

        gid_t   cr_groups[NGROUPS];     /* additional groups */

--------------------------^ *** Exit 1 Stop. *** Exit 1 Stop. *** Exit 1
NGROUPS is defined in sys/param.h BUT param.h is NOT included!!! even though configure picked it up correctly and put: /* Define if you have the <sys/param.h> header file. */ #define HAVE_SYS_PARAM_H 1
in portable.h
The fix is to add:
#include "ac/param.h"
to the C file involved.. in this case it's getpeereid.c once you add that include file (which is shipped with openlap) then it includes the param.h.
not sure how to report a bug, but at least it's here for future use...
enjoy!
