Well, that is a very limited fix. It only works if you call the Sun
compiler as /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc, which I guess is the most common
situation. If you call the same compiler by any other name, it does
not work. Obviously this should be improved, but I think it should
wait till after the release (it may be that /usr/lib/cpp is no longer
the best default CPP for Solaris, I don't know).

The solution (manually specifying CPP for this particular compiler) is
already clearly documented in PROBLEMS and MACHINES.
