! Solaris: When using Sun's C compiler with threads, at least on Solaris

! Solaris: When using Sun's C compiler, it's necessary to compile in
!         strict ANSI mode with multithreading enabled. This can be done

!         before running the configure script. ANSI-compatibility mode
!         ('-Xa') has been seen to compile the code without problems,
!         but generate faulty code.
