Perhaps it is best then to modify CFLAGS to use -std=c89 just for Solaris -
there is already a Solaris section in the configure.in. That ways, no other
platform gets except for possible problematic early gcc's on Solaris.

IIRC, I think Sander was seeing problems on Solaris with gcc 3.x since
Solaris's headers when POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS is defined (which APR does by
default) aren't compatible with C89. If you don't want POSIX compliance,
then
Solaris's headers are strict C89, AIUI.
So, I'd suggest yanking this entirely as C89 is too restrictive and might
only
work for a small subset of platforms (perhaps Linux, if that). -- justin
