Oh, excellent!

Wait, other platforms are using _XOPEN_SOURCE=700?  Are they doing this
because it is correct, or because it conveniently allowed them to
compile?  Anyone?

It seems to me that -ansi is probably correct here at the moment, and
that it probably has similar effectiveness.  But, if we want to
eventually move to C99, then we will need to address this properly at
some point.

Did CDE stop working in the meantime?  Doubtful.  I haven't tried it
since my failed attempt some time ago (my fault; I need to try again now
that I'm once again familiar with the build process).  I'm just so
accustomed to needing to port programs to that platform that I assumed
there may be failures.

Did OpenIndiana SPARC materialize in the meantime?  Heh, no... I've made
some personal efforts on that front over the years, but thus far to no
avail. There is actually an OpenIndiana 148 SPARC build floating around
somewhere... I have a text install iso archived.  It's probably still
lurking on the web.

However, I'll be building on OpenSolaris b134.  I'll let you know how it
goes.
