These instructions are obsolete, and date from the good old days
before netperf was converted to use the horror known as autoconf.  Try
./configure --enable-intervals

Also, if you edited config.h to try to work around the Solaris 7
bug, you'll need to redo the edits, as the file will be regenerated
after running configure.
