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.
