No. The fix is to add '-isystem /usr/openwin/include'. Adding
-fpermissive allows *much* more than fixing the error above. We have
successfully LyX on Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, and 2.7 with this option to
resolve the problem above.

Solaris only has /usr/openwin/include for X. CDE (Motif) is in
/usr/dt/include.

Correct.
