RE: [PATCH] -std-c89 not supported

Ah, so I'm confused now.

1. You said Sander was having an issue with Solaris, which made me think
this was added to help him, but you say no.
2. When you say this whole thing should be yanked, do you mean the patch or
the directive to the compiler ?

Hmm? You've confused me now.

Solaris's headers, when used in a POSIX-compliant program, do not conform to

gcc's interpretation of C89.

Therefore, -std=c89 can not be used on Solaris at all. As Sander recently
found out, Subversion won't even compile. -- justin
