Did you see this comment in the code:

 // before this function will work with a 32 bit compiler,  you must
 // fix bsesub.h:
 #if 0
    typedef struct _VIOCOLORREG    /* viocreg */
    {
       USHORT  cb;
       USHORT  type;
       USHORT  firstcolorreg;
       USHORT  numcolorregs;
       //PCH     colorregaddr;
       PUCHAR16     colorregaddr;    /*PLF Sun  94-02-13 16:01:29*/
    } VIOCOLORREG;
    typedef VIOCOLORREG *PVIOCOLORREG;
 #endif

This is not the only Vio error in the 32bit toolkit (any version).
