This patch seems broken in a number of ways. Why are you removing
-DLINUX_PROFILE, for example? Are you sure you don't need -D_GNU_SOURCE?
And why add -DSUNOS4_CC, which is a Solaris-specific define (not that
we seem to be using it anywhere anymore)? Do we really have to have a
configure-time probe to detect this particular compiler?
But I guess the *real* question is why anyone would care ... what
benefit is there to using Sun's compiler on Linux?
