Agreed. It seems like the 3rd, but it may also be that Solaris 8 have
headers which need a certain C personaliy. When I first experienced
this problem a long while ago, I tried setting the C compiler's
personality different ways, but then the compilation failed at other
places in the code. Eventually i gave up and came up with that patch,
which works like a charm and I've used it ever since :)
