+Solaris Problem #1:
+===================
+From: carson@lehman.com
+Date: Fri, 7 Feb 1997 01:05:58 -0500
+To: arnold@gnu.ai.mit.edu
+Subject: Solaris 2.5.1 x86 bug in gawk-3.0.2
+
+awktab.c has the following bogus logic:
+
+#ifndef alloca
+#ifdef __GNUC__
+#define alloca __builtin_alloca
+#else /* not GNU C. */
+#if (!defined (__STDC__) && defined (sparc)) || defined (__sparc__) || defined (__sparc) || defined (__sgi)
+#include <alloca.h>
+#else /* not sparc */
+
+Solaris x86 obviously dosn't define sparc or __sparc.
+
+What you _meant_ to say was:
+
+if (defined(__sun) && defined(__SVR4))
+
+(which identifies Solaris 2.x under both Sun's cc and gcc)

+Solution to Problem #1:
+=======================
+Tue Oct 20 21:25:11 IST 1998
+
+This has been fixed in 3.1.0 with the bisonfix.sed script.

+Solaris Problem #2:
+===================
+Tue Apr 13 16:57:45 IDT 1999
+
+There is a known problem in that the `manyfiles' test will fail under
+Solaris if you set your soft limit on the number of file descriptors to
+above 256. This is due to a "feature" of fdopen that an fd must be
+less than 256 (see fdopen(3)).
+
+IMHO this is Sun's problem, not mine.

+Solution (a) to Problem #2:
+===========================
+Now fixed in the code via Paul Eggert's 2001-09-0 patch. See the
+ChangeLog.

+Solution (b) to Problem #2:
+===========================
+From: Paul Nevai <nevai@math.ohio-state.edu>

+
+Dear Aharon:
+
+Toda raba. Why don't you add something like that to README_d/README.solaris
+file:
+
+for the SunOS do in
+
+/bin/sh: ulimit -n 256; ulimit -a; make test
+/bin/tcsh: limit descriptors 256; ulimit -a; make test
+
+otherwise "make test" will fail
+
+Shalom, Paul

+Solaris Problem #3:
+===================
+Sun Feb 9 10:35:51 IST 2003
+
+Certain versions of Sun C give compilation errors under Solaris 5.5, 5.6 and
+possibly later. Here's what I was told:
+
+> We have this version of cc here:
+> cc -V
+> cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C 5.2 2000/09/11
+>
+> Probably, the others use different combinations of OS and CC.
+> A quick fix was this (we use csh-syntax here):
+>
+> setenv CC "/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -Xc"
+> ./configure
+> make check
+
