For a normal compile, cf. my mails from 2003-10-07 (IPFilter 4.0beta3, Solaris)
and 2003-08-25 (Re: IPFilter 4.0beta1, Solaris). The purpose is to suppress
the (x86 specific, indirect) inclusion of /usr/include/sys/promif.h, which
contains conflicting ddi definitions. Alternative workaround:
make an empty (ipf top dir)/sys/promif.h .
