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>
Subject: Re: gawk-3.0.4
To: arnold@skeeve.com (Aharon Robbins)
Date: Tue, 6 Jul 1999 09:09:05 -0400 (EDT)
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
