It certainly was working so it looks like some inconsistencies have crept in.
You should be able to remove all references to the inode member in ioctl32.c and
it will work.

As I don't have an UltraSPARC to test it on can you let me know whether it does
work please(!) - though I'm fairly sure it will.
